2024 Map of Head of Westport

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Head of Westport and the surrounding coastal landscape are defined by the convergence of the East Branch Westport River and West Branch Westport River as they flow toward the Atlantic Ocean. This recent survey illustrates a densely layered historical record, particularly visible through the dozens of family burial grounds and cemeteries that dot the interior, such as the Thaddeus Reynolds Burial Ground, George Wing Cem, and the sprawling Beech Grove Cem. The settlement pattern follows traditional crossroads like Giffords Corner and Central Village, while the southern shoreline is anchored by the maritime character of Westport Point and the protected waters of Westport Harbor. From the salt marshes of the Westport River East Branch Marshes to the long stretch of Horseneck Beach, the map documents a geography where family lineage and coastal ecology remain deeply intertwined.
