1941 Map of Duxbury

About this map

John Alden House and the Old Burying Ground anchor this coastal landscape, reflecting the deep colonial roots of the South Shore just before the mid-century. The shoreline is defined by the sweeping reach of Duxbury Beach and the protected waters of Duxbury Bay, where the Plymouth Lighthouse stands at the tip of Gurnet Point. Inland, the map reveals a mosaic of early twentieth-century life, from the industrial heritage of Cranberry Bogs to the maritime legacy at the National Sailors Home.
