1977 Map of Marion

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Sippican Harbor and Mattapoisett Harbor define the jagged Buzzards Bay shoreline, where maritime tradition meets the cranberry industry. This 1970s coastal survey captures the transition of the South Shore during the mid-century, showing the established campus of Tabor Academy near Marion and the developed waterfronts of Mattapoisett and Knollmere. Inland, the landscape is a patchwork of Cranberry Bogs and wooded wetlands like Towers Swamp, fed by the Mattapoisett River and Sippican River. The era's infrastructure is prominently displayed, featuring the path of the Old Colony Railroad and the modern presence of State Highway 195. Local history is preserved in several family-named landmarks, from Tinkhamtown and Sturtevant Mill to the Wolf Cem and Barlow Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the Massachusetts coast.
