1941 Map of Cohasset

About this map

The Old Oaken Bucket Homestead stands as a focal point in this coastal Massachusetts landscape, situated near Greenbush and the waters of Old Oaken Bucket Pond. This mid-century survey illustrates the intricate interface between sea and land, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad threads through towns like Cohasset and North Scituate. The interior is defined by a dense network of marshes and water bodies, including Black Pond Swamp and Jacobs Pond, alongside significant institutional holdings such as the United States Naval Reservation. Local transit is anchored by the Chief Justice Cushing Highway, which connects the established coastal settlements. Genealogists and historians will find value in the detailed plotting of community hubs like Scituate Center and Norwell, as well as several local landmarks including St James Ch and the Woodside Cem.
