1893 Map of Abington

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

Rockland and Abington anchor a dense network of industrial and agricultural settlements in this late-nineteenth-century survey of the South Shore. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Old Colony Railroad, which connects coastal hubs like Weymouth Landing and Quincy to the inland factory towns of Whitman and East Bridgewater. The Hanover Branch Railroad cuts eastward through West Hanover, serving the manufacturing interests of the area while avoiding the massive reach of the Great Cedar Swamp to the south.
