1974 Map of Cohasset

About this map

Cohasset Harbor and its surrounding rocky coastline define this mid-1970s coastal study, which includes the complex estuaries of The Gulf and Little Harbor. The map highlights a landscape of significant institutional and recreational preservation, from the sprawling Wompatuck State Park and Whitney Woods to the Glastonbury Monastery and Maryknoll Seminary. The settlement pattern shows traditional village centers like Beechwood, North Scituate, and Greenbush connected by the Penn Central rail line. Of particular interest to local historians is the Old Oaken Bucket Pond and the Cushing Memorial State Park near the North River. The terrain is punctuated by numerous family-named landmarks such as Cuffey Hill, Booth Hill, and James Hill, illustrating the enduring local geography of this South Shore region.
