2018 Map of Newburyport East

About this map

Newburyport and its neighboring coastal settlements are defined by the complex shifting waters of the Merrimack River and the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is rich with early New England history, evidenced by landmarks like the First Settlers Burying Ground and Newbury Old Town. The map details the expansive salt marshes, including the Town Creek Marshes and Blackwater River Marshes, which separate the mainland from the barrier system of Plum Island. Historical transit points are noted by the Old Town Bridge and the Plum Island Airport, while the waterfront near Joppa shows the continued importance of the North Pier and South Pier. From South Seabrook in the north down across the Parker River, the sheet documents a geography where tidal creeks like Jericho Creek and Plumbush Creek wind through an intricate network of named islands such as Woodbridge Island and Dole Island.
