1953 Map of Georgetown

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Dummer Academy and the historic South Byfield settlement anchor the northern reaches of this Essex County landscape, where the Parker River winds toward the coast. The mid-century geography reveals a region defined by its colonial-era legacy and ecclesiastical history, notably the Asbury Grove camp meeting grounds and the South Byfield Ch. Numerous family-named nodes such as Kinsman Corner, Leightons Corner, and Dodge Corner indicate a decentralized pattern of early crossroads development. The Boston and Maine railroad corridor provides a modern industrial contrast to the preserved acreage of the Georgetown Rowley State Forest and Willowdale State Forest. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of the Rowley Burial Ground, Harmony Cem, and Union Cem, while landmarks like the Adelphian Retreat and Glen Mills highlight the area's social and economic evolution.
