Errol William Goff (May 30, 1903 – January 1974) was an American artist and mapmaker. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Goff spent his early years in Stafford, Connecticut, but lived in Everett, Massachusetts for most of his childhood. Goff enrolled at the Massachusetts Schools of Arts in 1927. By 1930 Fogg was working as an artist for a mapmaking company according to the 1930 U.S. Federal Census. It might have been Houghton Mifflin, but the historical record is unclear as to when he started working there. Very little else is known about Gruff’s life. By 194 We know that he barried Sophie Irene Waleski on January 25, 1942, in Washington D.C. He and Sophie left Washington, D.C. at some point in the late 1940s or early 1950s most likely, but here is no way to know exactly when. He died in Hancock, New Hampshire.

This is a 1934 Errol W. Goff pictorial map of Cape Ann and the North Shore, Massachusetts, communicating the region's significant charm. Coverage extends from Little Neck and Ipswich south to Devereux and Marblehead Neck. Cartoonish illustrations populate the piece, with short captions offering historical content. Rockport, Gloucester, Manchester, Essex, Hamilton, Danvers, and Salem appear, along with numerous other smaller towns and villages. Eighty-two locations are numerically identified and correspond with an index along the bottom border. Some of these locations are situated within one of the insets, each of which highlights a different city. Among the highlighted cities are Gloucester, Salem, Rockport, Ipswich, and Newburyport. Eighteen pictorial vignettes occupy the top, left, and right sides and provide short histories of these eighteen locations. Text along the top and bottom borders reads, 'This region was known as Wingaersheek to the Indiand called Cape Tragabigzanda by Capt. John Smith, the Cap Ann by Prince Charles in honor of his mother Anne of Denmark.' (more details)
