2015 Map of Hanover

About this map

The North River and its numerous tributaries, including Pudding Brook and Herring Brook, form the backbone of this coastal Massachusetts landscape near the South Shore. This 2015 survey reveals a dense network of suburban development intertwined with preserved wetlands and recreational grounds, such as Camp Wampatuck and Camp Ousamequin. Significant water bodies like Oldham Pond, Furnace Pond, and Silver Lake dominate the southern portion of the area, reflecting the region's glacial geography. The map traces the residential expansion across Hanover, Pembroke, and West Duxbury, while identifying several small historic clusters like Brimstone Corner and Gurneys Corner. Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Pinehurst Cem and Schoosett Cem, which stand as markers of long-established family lineages. Small-scale aviation is represented by Sherman Private Airport and Cranland Airport, serving the community alongside the busy corridors of Schoosett St and Industrial Rd.
