About this map

Cape Cod National Seashore and the tip of the peninsula dominate the southeastern quadrant of this study, which spans from the outer Cape across Massachusetts Bay to the South Shore and Boston's northern suburbs. The map reveals a mid-1980s landscape of maritime history and military presence, notably at the North Truro Air Force Station. A series of navigation markers including Wood End Lighthouse, Long Point Lighthouse, and Race Point Lighthouse define the hooked harbor at Provincetown.

Further inland, the transition from coastal settlements like Marshfield and Scituate to the interior towns of Brockton and Hanson is well-documented. Extensive public lands such as Myles Standish State Park and Wompatuck State Park preserve large tracts of terrain amidst the growing residential corridors of Plymouth and Norfolk counties. This detailed compilation provides a clear view of the regional infrastructure before late-century development intensified.
