1962 Map of Bridgewater

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Bridgewater and Middleboro serve as the primary hubs in this early 1960s snapshot of Plymouth County, where the industrial and correctional history of the region is etched into the landscape. The sprawling Massachusetts Correctional Institution occupies a significant portion of the central terrain, situated near South Bridgewater and the meandering Taunton River. The area's agricultural identity is visible through numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered throughout the lowlands, particularly near Beaverdam Swamp and Great Cedar Swamp. Transportation is dominated by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad lines and several historic river crossings like Woodward Bridge and Sturtevant Bridge. Local genealogy is well-supported by a high density of burial grounds, including Jennings Hill Cem and Purchase Cem, alongside neighborhood schools like the Mc Elwain Sch and Mayflower Sch.
