1985 Map of Ipswich

About this map

Ipswich and the coastal salt marshes of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge define this North Shore landscape during the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a complex coastal geography where Plum Island Sound separates the mainland from Plum Island State Park and the extensive Castle Neck River estuary. Inland, the topography is dotted with glacial drumlins and hills such as Hunsley Hills and Bartholomew Hill, while the Ipswich River meanders through the Willowdale State Forest.
