2021 Map of Marion

About this map

Mattapoisett Harbor and Sippican Harbor define the jagged shoreline of this Plymouth County coastal region, where traditional village centers meet a complex network of marshes and coves. The landscape is heavily influenced by the drainage of the Mattapoisett River and Sippican River, which feed into expansive wetlands like Towers Swamp and the Sippican River Marshes. Historic settlement patterns are evident in the concentration of burial grounds such as Center Cem and Old Landing Cem, alongside industrial and social landmarks like Sturtevant Mill and the Alms House. From the beach communities at Antassawamock and Point Connett to the inland groves near Tinkhamtown, the map reveals a community defined by its maritime proximity and the enduring boundaries of its early townships.
