1974 Map of Duxbury

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Nook and the complex salt marshes of Duxbury Marsh define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-1970s. The map serves as a significant record of early colonial heritage, specifically marking the John Alden House and the Governor Winslow House. Significant attention is given to the legacy of the Standish family, with labels for the Myles Standish Monument, the Site of Myles Standish Homestead, and the Old Burying Ground containing the grave of the famous Pilgrim leader. The coastline is characterized by protective barriers like Duxbury Beach and Saquish Neck, which shelter Duxbury Bay and Kingston Bay. Inland, the area shows a transition from traditional cranberry cultivation in numerous Cranberry Bogs to residential developments near Tree of Knowledge Corner and Tinkertown. The Marshfield Fairgrounds and the Marshfield Municipal Airport reflect the established community infrastructure of the era.
