1977 Map of Duxbury

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The winding course of the South River and the complex tidal marshes of the South Shore define this 1977 orthophotograph. Captured by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works, this aerial perspective reveals the mid-century development patterns across Marshfield and Duxbury. The map illustrates the contrast between the densely wooded inland areas and the established coastal settlements of Fieldston and Green Harbor. Looking south toward Kingston, the imagery provides a clear view of the delicate landforms separating Massachusetts Bay from the sheltered waters of Plymouth Bay. This orthophotograph is particularly valuable for documenting the extent of residential expansion and coastal infrastructure before late-century conservation efforts and further suburbanization reshaped the shoreline character of South Duxbury.
