2024 Map of Newburyport West

About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the central artery for this region, separating the industrial and maritime heritage of Newburyport from the northern settlements of Amesbury and Salisbury Point. This contemporary survey highlights a landscape deeply rooted in early Massachusetts history, as evidenced by the dense concentration of historic interments such as the Golgotha Burial Ground and the Old Hill Burial Ground. The interior terrain is defined by numerous glacial drumlins like Powwow Hill and Lone Tree Hill, which overlook complex water systems including the Artichoke Reservoir and Lake Attitash. Local history researchers will find significant landmarks preserved in the modern infrastructure, from the Curzon Mill on the riverbank to the Essex County Newburyport District Courthouse downtown. The map also traces the Border To Boston Trl, showing how former rail corridors have been repurposed for contemporary transit through towns like Byfield.
