Stunning Cape Ann.
This is a 1947 Lucas Company map of Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts. Depicting from Ipswich Bay south to Eastern Point and from Haskell's Pond east to Gap Head, Gloucester and Rockport are illustrated in detail. Plenty of coastal detail is provided, with coves, necks, bays, and other features all identified. Numerous beaches are labeled as well. Streets are labeled throughout the region, along with ponds, reservoirs, and the Annisquam River. A dashed black and white line traces the route of the Gloucester Branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad. An inset in the lower right corner details Gloucester, providing a much more comprehensive depiction of the town. An alphabetical street guide of Gloucester occupies the left side of the sheet and continues onto the right side where schools, churches, important buildings, and points of interest are listed. A similar street guide to Rockport also occupies the right side and includes a list of schools, churches, and important buildings in town as well.Publication History and Census
