weird oh towns in massachusetts - 0 or 1 neighbors

gosnold and nantucket have no neighbors - ish

logan rockport nahant aquinah provincetown have 1 neighbor each

AI tells us that Hull borders on Hingham and Cohasset - and the state
map below confirms that

chathm borders on 2 towns - but just barely - harwich and a bit of orleans

==================

this is crazy

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-municipalities

map of city and town borders in massachusetts

it has been updated approx 100 times between 2004 and 2024

OMG!

not sure if it really affects anything - maybe just 1 or 2 parcels and
islands changed hands - maybe some parcels boundaries changed by 5
feet - not really sure - does not seem like any major changes -
unknown if any boston harbor islands are involved - we have not looked
at the map yet

map shows the bewster islands as being in hull in plymouth county -
those islands are north of the hull peninsula

deer island is in boston - but snake island and logan fire sta 2 are
in winthrop - ta da!

============================

why does ipswich look like 3 towns?

plum island covers 4 towns - newburyport + newbury + rowley + ipswich
- hope they have some sort of mutual aid agreement to cover that

====================

ok enuff of this crap
