About this postcard

A pictorial auto map of Cape Cod fills the card, with an inset view of the Pilgrim Memorial Monument at Provincetown. The map labels towns, roads, bays, and lighthouses from Brockton and Plymouth east to Provincetown and Chatham, a guide for motor tourists exploring the Cape; Highland Light is among the marked coastal landmarks. The monument, completed in 1910, commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims' first landing in Provincetown Harbor.
