2024 Map of Marion

About this map

The coastal village of Mattapoisett and the historic harbor at Marion define the geography of this modern coastal survey. The map details a landscape where traditional New England settlements meet the Buzzards Bay shoreline, featuring dense networks of marshes like the Mattapoisett River Marshes and Sippican Harbor Marshes. Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites, including the Old Landing Cem and the Friends' Burial Ground, which speak to the area's Quaker heritage. Inland, the terrain is shaped by extensive wetlands such as Haskell Swamp and Towers Swamp, alongside remnants of early industry at Sturtevant Mill. Points of local interest like the Alms House near Harbor Beach and the Mattapoisett Town Beach illustrate the evolution of these towns from maritime and agricultural hubs to residential and seasonal communities.
