1893 Map of Duxbury

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Scituate Harbor and the long, protective sweep of Duxbury Beach anchor this coastal survey, which documents the shoreline of Plymouth County in the late nineteenth century. A significant maritime and communication hub, the area features a Telegraph Cable to Brest terminating at the Cable House, linking this stretch of Massachusetts directly to Europe. The landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of the North River and South River, where tidal marshes like Green Harbor Marsh and Duxbury Marsh meet established settlements. Rail infrastructure is well-developed, with stops at Marshfield Station, Green Harbor Station, and South Duxbury Station facilitating movement through the seaside towns. Historical landmarks, including the Standish Monument on Captains Hill and the Gurnet Lights at the mouth of Plymouth Bay, serve as vital navigational aids for the region's busy seafaring economy.
