2021 Map of Rockport

About this map

Rockport sits at the northeastern tip of Cape Ann, its street grid tightly clustered between the rocky coastline and the inland heights. This 2021 topography emphasizes the relationship between the historic settlement and the Atlantic Ocean, showing the distinct peninsula of Bearskin Neck and the small sheltered waters near the town center. Genealogists will find three significant burial grounds documented here: Old Parish Cem, Union Cem, and Beech Grove Cem, all situated along the primary corridors leading away from the harbor. The landscape transitions from the dense residential and commercial blocks near Main St to the more open residential areas along Marmion Way and Eden Rd. Inland, the terrain is characterized by features such as Rum Rock Lake and the drainage of Sawmill Brook, while the southeastern coast is marked by the distinct protrusion of Camborne Point overlooking the waters of Bigelow Bight.
