The Merrimack River serves as the central artery of this coastal Massachusetts landscape, dividing the industrial and residential centers of Amesbury and Newburyport from the more rural, wooded areas to the south. Produced from 1977 aerial photography, this orthophotoquad provides an unfiltered view of the regional infrastructure during the late seventies, showing the dense network of streets in the town centers contrasted against the winding course of the Powwow River. The photography captures the transition from established mill towns to a post-industrial era, with clear views of the bridges and bypasses that connected these communities.
