About this map

Cape Ann's eastern coastline is defined by granite points and deep-water coves in this wartime survey by W. C. Thompson. The settlement at Rockport serves as a central hub, with the Boston and Main railroad line extending north into Pigeon Cove. Local history is preserved at the Beach Grove Cem, while the maritime character of the era is marked by essential navigation aids like the Straitsmouth Lighthouse and the dual-towered installation on Thacher Island, featuring the Cape Ann Lighthouse and the North Tower.
