USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Onset and the surrounding coastline of Buzzards Bay are characterized by a dense network of harbors, necks, and tidal inlets at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The landscape reveals the established maritime and recreational character of the region, from the seasonal developments at Parkwood Beach and Hamilton Beach to the institutional grounds of the Sacred Heart Seminary overlooking the water. The intricate geography of the shoreline is marked by prominent features like Sippican Neck, where the Kittansett Golf Club and Beverly Yacht Club define the local social landscape.
