About this map

Nahant and its connected peninsula of Little Nahant anchor the coastal geography of this Essex County study, where the Atlantic shoreline meets a densely developed urban corridor. The landscape is defined by its maritime orientation, from the sheltered waters of Nahant Harbor and Broad Sound to the rocky outcroppings of Phillips Point and Tedesco Rocks. Inland, the terrain is punctuated by significant local landmarks such as High Rock and Dungeon Rock, alongside numerous water bodies including Flax Pond and Breeds Pond.

Genealogists and local historians can trace established community centers in Lynn, Swampscott, and Peabody. Notable burial sites are distributed throughout the area, including the sprawling Pine Grove Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and the colonial-era Old East Burying Ground. Transportation infrastructure is highlighted by coastal routes like the Lynnway and the Revere Beach Pkwy, alongside rail landmarks such as Raddin Station and Suffolk Downs Station near the southern boundary with Boston.
