1977 Map of Brockton

About this map

Brockton and its surrounding communities are documented here during a period of significant suburban development in the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad, created from aerial photography taken in April 1977, provides a photographic record of the landscape's density, revealing the transition from the concentrated urban grid of the city center to the expanding residential patterns in Avon and Stoughton. The imagery preserves the physical layout of established neighborhoods and commercial corridors before later decades of further infill.
