About this map

Annisquam Harbor Light stands as a sentinel over the complex coastline of Cape Ann, where the Annisquam River meets Ipswich Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its industrial history and maritime orientation, evident in the numerous granite excavations like Gannerys Quarry and Bay State Quarry near Lanesville. The map captures the dense residential pockets of Bay View and Pigeon Cove, alongside recreational areas like Wingaersheek Beach and the YMCA Camp. Local genealogy is well-represented through several established burial grounds, including Mount Adnah Cem and Seaside Cem. The intricate network of tidal flats and islands, such as Pearce Island and Rust Island, illustrates the unique geography of the tidal estuary near Riverview Landing.
