1953 Map of Georgetown

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Dummer Academy stands as a prominent cultural landmark in the northern reaches of this Essex County landscape, situated near the winding Parker River. The area is characterized by a dense network of glacial hills, such as Ox Pasture Hill and Prospect Hill, and extensive wetlands including the Great Swamp Bk and Wenham Swamp. The post-war era shows a region balanced between its deep colonial roots and modern infrastructure, with U S Highway 1 cutting a direct path through the historic town boundaries of Rowley and Topsfield. Smaller clusters like Kinsman Corner and Dodge Corner reflect a traditional New England settlement pattern that persisted alongside the Boston and Maine railroad. In the south, the religious camp meeting grounds at Asbury Grove and the institutional presence of the Fairground near the Ipswich River highlight the diverse social and community uses of the land during the early 1950s.
