Template:Location map USA Mass Cape Cod (or simply, Template:Location map Cape Cod) is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Cape Cod, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Cape Cod":


  • name = Cape Cod
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = 41.488985
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = -70.844780
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = -69.778120
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

This location map can be used in any infobox that accepts location maps (see the list in the collapsed section below, under "See also"). To use this map, simply enter "Cape Cod" where the infobox requires a location map name. Oftentimes, the parameter is called "|pushpin_map=" or "|locmapin=" or similar.

{{infobox_nrhp | ... | locmapin=Cape Cod | ... }}
{{Infobox settlement | ... |pushpin_map=Cape Cod | ... }}
{{Infobox lighthouse | ... |pushpin_map=Cape Cod | ... }}

Here is a fairly complex real-world example, showing 17 points and linked labels in a small 320px image. Careful experimentation with "|position=" and "|background=" allows us to legibly label the points:
