Cape Cod's hooked peninsula, with its long sandy arm reaching east into the Atlantic, is the subject of this 1755 map by Thomas Jefferys. Jefferys was a London mapmaker and engraver who published a steady stream of colonial American maps for British readers during the years of the French and Indian War. Mariners relied on charts like this to avoid the cape's shifting shoals and to find safe harbors around its bays. The reduced format shows how people in England, far from New England, pictured this coastline and its towns.
