Cape Ann's jagged eastern coastline defines the maritime character of this area, centered on the village of Rockport. The map details the transition from the densely settled streets near Bearskin Neck to the rocky outcroppings and islands that have long challenged local mariners. Prominent landmarks such as Thacher Island, protected within the Thacher Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the nearby Londoner and Milk Island shoals illustrate the maritime hazards and natural preserves of the Atlantic Ocean coast.
