1893 Map of Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The coastal landscapes of the Massachusetts North Shore appear here as they were during the late 19th-century expansion of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Industrial and educational foundations are evident at sites like the Box Factory and the prestigious Dummer Academy, while the shoreline is defined by the Ipswich Light and the marshes of the Plum Island River. The inland terrain is a dense network of family-named hills and specialized institutions, including the Insane Asylum in Danvers.
