1972 Map of Wellfleet

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wellfleet and its surrounding coastal hamlets occupy this 1972 survey, revealing the intricate geography of the Outer Cape before modern development altered much of its rural character. The map details a landscape shaped by glacial kettle ponds like Gull Pond and Higgins Pond, alongside the winding saltwater estuaries of the Herring River and Blackfish Creek. Notable for historians is the inclusion of the Marconi Station Site and the National Seashore Headquarters, marking the region's transition into a protected federal landscape.
