A map of Cape Cod

A map of Cape Cod

Pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in an Art Deco style, Showing towns, points of interest and lighthouses, people enjoying sporting and recreational activities, ocean fish and different types of sailboats, and depictions of ships of some early explorers and settlers including a Viking ship, the Mayflower, and the vessels of John Smith and Champlain. At the center of the bottom border, two seahorses flank a clamshell. An orange and green ribbon across the map gives some statistics: "586 Miles of Shoreline, 300 Miles of Beaches, 1000 Miles of Highway, As Many Miles of Byways, 300 Lakes." A verse accompanied by a small landscape drawing in lower left corner reads: A "Key to the Cape" which incorporates a drawing of an actual key, also indicates airports, golf courses, life saving stations and yacht clubs with small symbols. Date estimated. Includes title cartouche and text.
