1961 Map of Cohasset

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Scituate Harbor and Cohasset Harbor define the jagged coastline of the South Shore in the early 1960s, showing a landscape where coastal resorts and historical homesteads meet expanding suburban neighborhoods. The map highlights the Old Oaken Bucket Homestead and Old Oaken Bucket Pond, sites famously associated with the 19th-century poem by Samuel Woodworth. Inland, the transition from maritime activity to rural residential life is visible in the network of family-named crossroads like Clapps Corner and Mungo Corner. Large swaths of land remain dedicated to public and institutional use, including the US Government Reservation and the Glastonbury Monastery near Turkey Hill. The transportation landscape is anchored by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line and the prominent path of the Pilgrims Highway, illustrating the region's accessibility as it grew beyond its traditional fishing and farming roots.
