About this map

High Rock and Red Rock look out over the intricate coastline of this Massachusetts north shore corridor, where the urban density of East Lynn and West Lynn meets the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by a heavy reliance on coastal infrastructure, seen in the numerous maritime aids such as Sandy Point Light and the Black Marsh Channel Light marking the approaches to Nahant Bay. Further inland, the map captures the transition from residential grids to significant landmarks like the Old East Burying Ground and the sprawling Swampscott Cem.

Industrial and transport history is represented by several key railroad waypoints, including Raddin Station and the Suffolk Downs Station near the southern edge of the survey. The varied terrain features, from the heights of Mount Gilead and Mount Moriah to the secluded waters of Floating Bridge Pond and Sluice Pond, illustrate the complex topography that shaped the development of these historic coastal communities during the early 21st century.
