1944 Map of Wellfleet

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Wellfleet and its neighbors in Truro are captured here as they appeared during the early 1940s, showing a landscape defined by glacial ponds and a complex maritime geography. The outer Cape Cod coastline reveals the transition from the sheltered waters of The Cove and Drummer Cove to the exposed eastern shore, where the Cahoon Hollow L S S life-saving station stands watch. Inland, the terrain is pocketed with numerous freshwater bodies like Gull Pond, Long Pond, and Slough Pond, reflecting the unique hydrology of the peninsula.
