1970 Map of Marblehead North

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Massachusetts Bay defines the character of this coastal landscape, where the seafaring heritage of Marblehead and Beverly meets the wooded hills of the interior. The shoreline is punctuated by historic landmarks including Fort Sewall, the Marblehead Lighthouse, and Lighthouse Hospital Pt, reflecting the maritime importance of Salem Harbor and Marblehead Harbor. Inland, the terrain rises toward heights like Browns Hill and Wyman Hill, sheltering numerous small bodies of water such as Chebacco Lake and Coy Pond. The presence of Gordon College near South Hamilton and the Boston and Maine railroad corridor illustrates the 20th-century development of these North Shore communities. From the U S Coast Guard Air Station on the water to the Iron Rail Girls Camp in Wenham, the map records a balance of residential growth, educational institutions, and preserved coastal terrain.
