1945 Map of Marblehead South

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The coastal shelf of the North Shore is the focus of this maritime-heavy survey, which captures the immediate vicinity of Marblehead Harbor during the mid-1940s. While most of the sheet is dedicated to the open waters of Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the land-based portion reveals the transportation and shoreline anatomy of the era. The Boston and Maine railroad line is visible running parallel to the coast, serving the residential and vacation landscape near Devereux Beach. Notable geological features and coastal landmarks such as Castle Rock, Skinner Head, and Boden Pt are carefully documented, along with the Causeway connecting the mainland to the neck. Offshore, hazardous navigation points are identified, including Ram I, Tinkers I, and the Great Pig Rocks. The map also delineates several municipal and county boundaries in the tidewater areas, marking the transitions between Marblehead, Swampscott, and Lynn.
