1940 Map of Scituate

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Scituate Harbor serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the Massachusetts shoreline meets the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by the four distinctive coastal promontories: First Cliff, Second Cliff, Third Cliff, and Fourth Cliff, which protect the harbor and the residential developments of Shore Acres and Sand Hills. Inland, the map documents the transition of transportation technology with the New York New Haven and Hartford RR (Abandoned), its tracks and stations like Marshfield Hills Sta still visible across the terrain. The marshy wetlands between the North River and South River frame historic settlements like Greenbush and Humarock. Local genealogy and land use are preserved through family-named features such as Hannah Eames Brook and Wills Island, alongside communal landmarks like the Union Cem and the Scituate Country Club.
