1972 Map of Wellfleet

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wellfleet and its surrounding coastal hamlets are detailed in this 1972 revision, showing the Outer Cape as it functioned before modern development patterns fully transformed the shoreline. The map documents the establishment of the Cape Cod National Seashore and includes the National Seashore Headquarters, marking a transition toward federal conservation. Significant local history is preserved in the placement of the Marconi Station Site and several small family burial grounds like Pine Grove Cem and Oakdale Cem. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, from the saltwater reaches of The Gut and Loagy Bay to numerous kettle ponds such as Gull Pond and Horseleech Pond. Narrow roads like Kings Highway and Old County Road trace the interior, connecting South Wellfleet to the landing at Pamet Harbor to the north.
