1956 Map of Marblehead South

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The coastal waters of Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean dominate this maritime survey, revealing the intricate seafloor and rocky hazards of the North Shore. Marblehead sits at the northern edge, where the Causeway connects the mainland at Devereux to the prominent Marblehead Neck. This peninsula is a center of local activity, featuring landmarks like the Eastern Yacht Club and the jagged edge of Castle Rock. Inland, the map captures community essentials including the Star of the Sea Ch, Alley Hospital, and the High Sch near Seaside Playground. Offshore, the survey provides a detailed hydrographic view of numerous navigation hazards such as Tinkers Island, Ram Island, and the Outer Breakers, marking the boundary where the town's rocky coast meets the open sea.
