About this map

Lynn Woods dominates the northwestern corner of this coastal study, a large municipal forest and parkland characterized by elevations like Mt Gilead and Mt Moriah. The urban core of Lynn spreads southeastward toward the Atlantic, with its industrial and civic history reflected in labels for the Post Office, City Hall, and the Lynnway. This 1985 edition documents a dense residential and academic landscape, featuring numerous neighborhood schools such as Cobbet Sch and English High Sch.

The rugged North Shore coastline is a focal point, from the salt marshes of the Pines River to the distinctive peninsula of Nahant and its smaller neighbor Little Nahant. To the east, the maritime character of Swampscott and Marblehead is mapped in detail, including islands and navigation hazards like Tinkers Ledge and Roaring Bull. The presence of the B & M railroad lines and large interment grounds like Pine Grove Cem provides essential spatial data for local historians and genealogists.
