1941 Map of Duxbury

About this map

The coastal landscape of the Duxbury and Marshfield area is defined by its deep historical roots and maritime geography as it appeared just before the mid-century. Significant sites dedicated to Mayflower settlers are prominent, including the Old Burying Ground Grave of Myles Standish near Captains Hill and the John Alden House. The map documents a transition from old industrial uses to residential and recreational life, showing numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered inland while coastal areas like Brant Rock and Green Harbor show denser settlement patterns.
