About this map

Scituate Harbor serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the town’s maritime character is defined by a series of prominent drumlins known as First Cliff, Second Cliff, and Third Cliff. The post-war landscape shows a settled shoreline extending through Shore Acres and Sand Hills, while the interior retains its rail connections via the New York New Haven and Hartford line, including the Scituate Sta and the village of Greenbush.

South of the North River marshes, the terrain rises toward Carolina Hill and the village of Marshfield Hills. The coastal infrastructure is particularly detailed, featuring the Coast Guard Sta near Cedar Pt and the U S Mil Res at Fourth Cliff. This mapping captures the region before the modern expansion of its seaside communities, documenting traditional road names like Country Way and The Driftway alongside older landmarks like Union Cem.
