About the Saugus Area
The Town of Saugus is located
in Essex County in eastern Massachusetts, nine miles
from Boston. It is bordered by Lynnfield on the north,
Lynn on the east, Revere on the south, Malden on the
southwest, and Wakefield and Melrose on the west.
The Saugus River forms part of the southeast
border, while the Pines River forms the southern border.
Both rivers join in an opening to the Atlantic Ocean.
The land is a combination of rough ledges,
stony soil and level fields with several brooks flowing
into ponds and the Saugus River. The southeastern section
is dominated by Rumney Marsh, a salt water marsh. The
town has a tidal shore line of 10.4 miles.
