1961 Map of Scituate

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Scituate Harbor and its surrounding coastal settlements dominate this early 1960s survey of the Plymouth County shoreline. The map documents a landscape defined by its relation to the sea, where established villages like Greenbush and Marshfield Hills sit inland while newer developments such as Shore Acres and Sand Hills line the coast. Military and navigational installations are prominent, including the USAF Res radio towers at Fourth Cliff and the Coast Guard Station near Cedar Point. The intricate drainage of the North River and South River creates a complex network of marshlands and named islands like Trouant Island and Tilden Island. Genealogists will find significant detail in the inclusion of the Meeting House Lane Cemetery and Church, James Cem, and the path of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line, reflecting the area's long-standing infrastructure.
