About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the central artery for this region of Essex County, dividing the riverside settlements and shaping the local industry and recreation of the early 21st century. Along its banks, the established communities of Merrimacport, Salisbury Point, and West Newbury maintain their traditional character, while the Whittier Memorial Bridge provides a vital transportation link over the water. The landscape is dotted with ancestral markers including the Sawyer Hill Burying Ground and Salisbury Plains Cem.

Agricultural and residential patterns are visible at Arrowhead Farm and Long Hill Orchard, while the presence of the Lake Gardner Seaplane Base and the Atlantic Forest Ski Area reflects the diverse land use in the hills surrounding Amesbury Town Landing. From the Parker River Reservoir in the south to Salisbury Plains in the north, this map documents a corridor where colonial-era burying grounds and family-named hills like Pipestave Hill meet modern infrastructure.
