2021 Map of Marblehead North

About this map

Salem and Beverly anchor this coastal Massachusetts landscape, where the rugged North Shore meets a labyrinth of tidal channels and rocky islands. The map highlights the area's rich maritime and institutional history, featuring the historic grounds of Old Burial Hill Cem and the defensive site at Fort Pickering. To the north, the terrain transitions from the busy Manchester Channel to the wooded hills of Wenham Neck, punctuated by higher elevations like Sagamore Hill and Morse Hill. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of educational landmarks, including Gordon College and Endicott College, alongside prestigious coastal enclaves like Prides Crossing and Manchester-by-the-Sea. The intricate shoreline, from the sands of Singing Beach to the rocky outcrops of Marblehead Neck, illustrates the complex relationship between the region's granite geology and the Atlantic shelf.
