2024 Map of Wellfleet

About this map

Wellfleet and Truro are the primary hubs of this coastal survey, where the complex interplay of water and sand defines the lower Cape. The landscape is dominated by the Cape Cod National Seashore, preserving a transition from the rolling heights of Tom Hill and Gross Hill to the expansive salt marshes of the Herring River Marshes. Marine features are remarkably detailed, showing the precarious spit of Jeremy Point and the tidal reaches of The Gut and Old Saw. The inner harbor is shielded by Smalley Bar and Indian Neck, while the landward side reveals a network of kettle ponds such as Gull Pond and Horseleech Pond. For researchers, the map traces the modern path of the Cape Cod Rail Trail alongside older landmarks like Cannon Hill and several local burying grounds, including Oakdale Cem and Pine Grove Cem.
