1944 Map of Wellfleet

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Wellfleet Harbor dominates this mid-century topographic record, revealing a coastal landscape defined by complex tidal estuaries and glaciated kettle ponds. At the height of the war years, the outer Cape shows a mixture of traditional maritime industry and early seaside residency, with clusters of development at Wellfleet and South Wellfleet. The geography is notably fragmented by landforms such as Bound Brook Island and Griffin Island, which were historically more isolated before land-filling and shifting sands altered the marshes.
