Ipswich and Essex anchor this coastal landscape, where the tides of Plum Island Sound meet a complex network of marshes and drumlins. The geography is defined by the extensive Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses Hog Islands, Grape Island, and the sand-swept reaches of Sandy Point. For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with burial sites, including the Old North Burying Ground and Highland Cem in Ipswich, as well as the Essex Burial Ground near South Essex.
