1974 Map of Scituate

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Scituate and its distinctive coastal geology define this mid-1970s landscape, where a series of numbered drumlins—First Cliff, Second Cliff, Third Cliff, and Fourth Cliff—stand as landmarks against Massachusetts Bay. The map records a community transitioning from its maritime and rail roots toward a residential suburb, with an Old Railroad Grade still traceable near the Scituate Station. Local genealogy is well-served by the presence of Union Cem, Meeting House Lane Cem, and Littles Cem. To the south, the complex estuary of the North River and South River winds behind the barrier beach at Humarock, revealing shifting tidal flats and islands like Trouant Island and Tilden Island. Further inland, the map captures education and public infrastructure through Wampatuck Sch and the USCG Radio Station.
