1952 Map of Newburyport East

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Plum Island and its extensive salt marshes dominate this 1952 coastal survey, stretching from the mouth of the Merrimack River south toward the Rowley River. The landscape is a complex network of tidal creeks like Pine Island Creek and Little Pine Island Creek, bordering what would become the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. In the bustling maritime center of Newburyport, the map records specific local landmarks including the Newburyport LH and the nearby Coast Guard Sta on Plum Island Pt. To the north, the transition from New Hampshire into Massachusetts is marked by the coastal community of Salisbury Beach (Cushing PO), while the interior reveals older settlement patterns at Newbury Old Town. Genealogists will find the location of the First Burial Ground and several smaller cemeteries such as Long Hill Cem and Maplewood Cem particularly useful for tracing early regional family sites.
