1945 Map of Marblehead North

About this map

Coastal Essex County during the mid-1940s reveals a landscape of dense North Shore settlements and rugged maritime geography. The Boston and Maine RR serves as the backbone for travel between Beverly and Manchester, passing through localized hubs like Montserrat and Beverly Farms. This period shows the region's historic coastal defense and navigation infrastructure still prominent, featuring Fort Sewell and the Marblehead Lh guarding the approaches to the harbor. Inland, the terrain is defined by a series of high points like Browns Hill and Moses Hill, interspersed with significant water bodies including Wenham Lake and Chebacco Lake. The map details a transition from the industrial and residential core of Marblehead and its Waterside Cem to the offshore reaches of the Atlantic Ocean, including the islands of Great Misery Island and Bakers Island.
