1961 Map of Duxbury

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Captains Hill and the Standish Monument anchor this coastal landscape where Plymouth Colony history remains visible on the mid-century terrain. The map meticulously documents the geography of the South Shore, from the tidal flats of Duxbury Bay to the marshy reaches of the South River. Genealogists and historians will find significant ancestral sites, including the John Alden House, the Governor Winslow House, and the Old Burying Ground, which holds the grave of Myles Standish. The region's agricultural and industrial character is evident through numerous Cranberry Bogs and the Marshfield Fairgrounds. Navigation and communication landmarks are also prominent, such as the Plymouth Lighthouse at Gurnet Point and the USCG Radio Station. From the seaside settlements of Brant Rock and Green Harbor to inland junctions like Tree of Knowledge Corner, the map illustrates a community shaped by its maritime heritage and early colonial foundations.
