Rockport and the northeastern tip of Cape Ann define this coastal survey, where the rugged granite shoreline meets the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern is concentrated around the harbor and the prominent Bearskin Neck, with a dense network of local streets such as Main St, Pleasant St, and Old Garden Rd extending toward the rocky points. This 2018 data illustrates the modern layout of the maritime community, showing inland water features like Rum Rock Lake and Camborne Pond alongside the expansive Bigelow Bight. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as Beech Grove Cem, while the southern margin reaches the edge of Gloucester. The map captures the specialized geography of this peninsula, from the narrow lanes of Straitsmouth Way to the winding coastal reaches of Eden Rd and Penzance Rd.
