1940 Map of Scituate

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The coastal geometry of the South Shore is meticulously detailed here, defined by the four distinctive drumlins known as First Cliff, Second Cliff, Third Cliff, and Fourth Cliff. These landforms protect Scituate Harbor and the winding marshes of the North River and South River. The landscape in the late 1930s shows a transitional phase of development, with established seaside communities like Shore Acres, Hatherly Beach, and Humarock connected by a network of local roads such as Country Way and Tilden Road.
