2015 Map of Gloucester OE N

About this map

Gloucester serves as the focal point for this coastal survey of Cape Ann's northern reaches. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline and internal water systems, where Walker Creek and Alewife Brook drain toward the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the terrain is marked by numerous small bodies of water and significant topographic features like Pigeon Hill, reflecting the glacially sculpted character of Essex County. The map details a dense network of local roads such as Wingaersheek Rd and Causeway St, which navigate the marshes and rocky outcrops. This 2015 edition documents the modern infrastructure surrounding longstanding natural landmarks, including the Babson Reservoir and several named ponds like Sleepy Hollow Pond and Strangman Pond that have historically sustained this maritime community.
