1940 Map of Hanover

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The North River and its many tributaries, including the Indian Head River and Drinkwater River, define this landscape of Plymouth County during the late 1940s. The area is characterized by an intricate network of ponds and swamps, such as Oldham Pond, Furnace Pond, and Pine Island Swamp, which provided the water power for local industry at sites like the Mill Ponds. Settlement patterns center on historic villages like Hanover Center and Pembroke, with the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line connecting the more remote outposts like Halifax Sta. Local social foundations are well-documented through several educational and religious landmarks, including the Thomas Sch, Bethel Chapel, and the Lady of the Lake Church situated near the Monponsett area. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of family-named burial grounds like Magoun Cem and Pine Grove Cem.
