2012 Map of Marblehead North

About this map

Salem Harbor and the intricate coastline of the North Shore define this landscape, where maritime history and residential growth converge. The area is anchored by the prominent Marblehead Neck and the busy waterfronts of Manchester and Beverly Cove. Inland, the terrain rises toward numerous local heights such as Millstone Hill and Brimble Hill, interspersed with fresh water bodies like Chebacco Lake and Longham Reservoir. This geography supported a diverse economy of seafaring and early suburban development, visible in the cluster of academic institutions like Gordon College and Endicott Community College. Notable aids to navigation, including the Marblehead Lighthouse, Bakers Island Light, and the Fort Pickering Lighthouse, illustrate the critical importance of the Salem Channel and Manchester Channel to local trade. Numerous family and community landmarks, such as Saint Marys Cem and the YMCA Camp, are preserved alongside the established residential neighborhoods of Prides Crossing and Beverly Farms.
