About this map

Beverly and Salem anchor this coastal Massachusetts map, which details a landscape defined by rocky inlets, residential growth, and prominent educational institutions. Higher education campuses like Gordon College and Endicott College occupy significant terrain near the shore, while the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary sits further inland near Browns Hill. The shoreline itself is a complex network of points and coves, from Beverly Cove to the narrow peninsula of Marblehead Neck.

Maritime history is evident at Fort Sewall and the many named hazards such as Pickett Ledge and Gales Ledge. Traditional North Shore villages like Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly Farms, and Prides Crossing are shown with their established street grids and cemeteries, including Central Cem and Rosedale Cem. To the north, the terrain transitions into the woodlands surrounding Chebacco Lake and Gravelly Pond.
