2012 Map of Marblehead South

About this map

Devereux Beach and the narrow strip of The Bridge Causeway define the coastal character of this shoreline just after the turn of the twenty-first century. This portion of the Massachusetts coast is dominated by its relationship with the Atlantic Ocean, where hazardous offshore features like Roaring Bull, Tinkers Ledge, and the Southwest Breakers define the maritime approach. The map captures the suburban residential layout of the Marblehead Neck area, with named roads such as Ocean Ave and Harbor Ave tracing the rocky perimeter. To the southeast, the path of the Boston - Gloucester Ferry Crossing cuts across the open water, serving as a reminder of the enduring transit connections between North Shore communities. From the small curve of Ladys Cove to the prominent heights of Skinner Head, the topography reflects a landscape shaped by both private development and public shoreline access.
