An aerial map of a small town village, labelled "Village of North Truro", bisected by a wide highway that cuts from the top edge of the image to the lower right corner. A wide buffer around the highway is highlighted in pink to indicate the state-owned right-of-way, which dwarfs the size of the adjacent village. A white area in the upper right corner indicates the site of a new housing development called "Cloverleaf" and the main street running through the village and under the highway, connecting to two highway off-ramp loops, is labelled as Highland Road.
