1888 Map of Abington

About this map

The Old Colony Railroad network forms the backbone of Plymouth County’s landscape in the late nineteenth century, radiating through industrial hubs and coastal villages. From the busy terminals at Weymouth Landing and Whitman, tracks branch out toward the South Shore and the interior, illustrating the era’s intensive rail-based commerce. The coastal geography is defined by deep inlets like the Weymouth Back River and Mill Cove, while the interior shows a transition to a more localized economy of small mill sites and homesteads.
