2012 Map of Cohasset

About this map

Old Oaken Bucket Homestead stands as a focal point of local heritage in this coastal Massachusetts landscape, situated near the intersection of various historic villages. The map reveals a dense network of local communities including Beechwood, Scituate Center, and Egypt, connected by winding roads that skirt numerous glacial hills such as Mount Blue and Hoop Pole Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with First Herring Brook and Wildcat Brook feeding into North River, which defines the southern boundary of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the townships, from the First Parish Cem and Old First Parish Cem in Norwell to the Twomile Cem near North Marshfield. The area's transition from a collection of rural hamlets to established residential neighborhoods is evident in the proximity of older homesteads to modern developments like Jacobs Lake Shores.
