About this map

The coastal North Shore and the historic towns of Essex County are documented here in the late nineteenth century, revealing a landscape defined by saltwater marshes and an intensive railroad network. Maritime life centers around the detailed inlets of Salem Harbor, Beverly Harbor, and Marblehead Harbor, while the interior shows the developed village centers of Salem, Peabody, and Danvers. Several specialized institutional sites are notable, including the Insane Asylum and the historic Dummer Academy near the Parker River.
