HUMAROCK as an ISLAND, Scituate, Massachusetts 1905 Chart

A reproduction of a hand-colored chart of HUMAROCK, Sciuate, Massachusetts 1905. HUMAROCK can be seen as an Island. Prior to the Portland Gale of 1898, the North River flowed south between Scituate's Humarock section and Marshfield, Massachusetts, joining the South River and entering the ocean several miles to the south of the current opening. The storm breached a thin strip of beach, which connected Scituate's Third and Fourth Cliffs, leaving Humarock an island. Eventually the old inlet has silted in, forcing the South River to flow north between Marshfield and Humarock, where it now joins the North River to enter the ocean between Third and Fourth Cliffs
