1949 Map of Rockport

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The coastal tip of Cape Ann is defined by the granite-carved harbors of Rockport and Pigeon Cove in this 1949 revision. The landscape reveals a maritime and industrial heritage, with the Boston and Main railroad terminating near the center of town to serve the local economy. Notable landmarks like the Straitsmouth Lighthouse and the twin lights on Thacher Island, including the Cape Ann Lighthouse, guided ships through the treacherous waters of Sandy Bay and around Lands End.
