About this map

Scituate Harbor and its surrounding coastal cliffs dominate this 1940s landscape, revealing a community balanced between maritime industry and early twentieth-century recreation. The coastline is defined by prominent landmarks like First Cliff, Second Cliff, and Third Cliff, with the Coast Guard Sta positioned at the harbor entrance. Further south, the intricate tidal marshes of the North River and South River separate Scituate from Marshfield, creating a complex network of islands such as Tilden Island and Bear Island.
