About this map

Hanover, Massachusetts, is defined by its intricate network of coastal wetlands and the meandering Indian Head River. This 2018 survey documents a landscape where colonial-era settlement patterns meet modern conservation, with numerous cemeteries like Fern Hill Cem and Hanover Center Cem providing vital links for genealogists. The influence of early water-powered industry remains visible in the naming of Gorham Mill Pond and Glover Mill Pond, reflecting the historical reliance on local water bodies for manufacturing.

Recreational and community spaces are well-represented, from the organized grounds of Camp Wampatuck and Camp Ousamequin to the specialized aviation sites at Sherman-Private Airport and Cranland Airport. The interior is dotted with distinct local neighborhoods such as North Pembroke, Brimstone Corner, and Oakland Square, while the southern reaches are dominated by the significant waters of Oldham Pond and Silver Lake. The map serves as a contemporary guide to the geography of Plymouth County, where residential growth continues around traditional landmarks like the Town Hall in Hanson.
