1966 Map of Ipswich

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Plum Island Sound and the complex tidal estuaries of the Ipswich River define this coastal landscape on the North Shore. The 1966 revision shows the extensive protected lands of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Plum Island State Park as they existed before significant modern shoreline shifts. Cultural and religious history is prominent here, marked by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur Novitiate and the Sacred Heart Juniorate, alongside the local healthcare landmark Cable Memorial Hosp. The map also illustrates the Cold War era presence of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories situated near Eagle Hill. Coastal navigation is anchored by the Ipswich Light, while the inland area is connected by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which serves the historic town centers of Ipswich and Rowley.
