The Merrimack River dominates this coastal landscape as it empties into the Atlantic Ocean past Plum Island Point. This maritime corridor is anchored by historical markers of early Massachusetts settlement, including the Newburyport Harbor Light and the venerable Old Town Bridge spanning the Parker River. The map reveals a dense concentration of local history at the First Parish Burying Ground and Newbury Old Town, where the transition from colonial maritime trade to modern coastal residential life is evident in the street patterns.
