1920 Map of Abington

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

Weymouth, Abington, and the surrounding South Shore townships appear here as they were during the first World War, showing a landscape defined by manufacturing hubs and coastal trade. The rail infrastructure is remarkably dense, with the South Shore Branch and Old Colony RR facilitating movement between coastal centers like Hingham and industrial inland villages. One standout landmark is the Old Oaken Bucket Homestead near Scituate Center, a site of local cultural significance amidst the growing residential pockets. The map reflects a transition where traditional crossroad hamlets like Queen Ann Corners and Lovell Corners remained distinct before suburban expansion. Numerous small bodies of water, including Island Grove Pond and Great Sandy Bottom Pond, suggest a region where industry and local recreation were closely intertwined along the various river branches.
