1984 Map of Scituate

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The dramatic glacial shoreline of Massachusetts Bay defines this mid-1980s look at Plymouth County. The coastal landscape is marked by a sequence of prominent headlands, from First Cliff down to Fourth Cliff, protecting smaller coves and the vital Scituate Harbor. Inland, the tidal complex of the North River and South River creates a labyrinth of marshes and islands, including Trouant Island and Bear Island. This period shows the established residential character of seaside communities like Egypt Beach, Sand Hills, and Humarock. Cultural anchors are well-documented, including several schools like Jenkins Sch and local landmarks such as the Lighthouse at Cedar Point. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Union Cem and Meeting House Lane Cem, alongside institutional sites like the US Coast Guard Station.
