1978 Map of Hanover

About this map

Silver Lake and Monponsett Pond dominate the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, illustrating a region defined by its complex network of glacial ponds, swamps, and industrial cranberry production. The land is heavily marked by Cranberry Bogs, particularly around Stetson Pond and the Pudding Brook drainage, reflecting a specialized agricultural economy that persists alongside growing suburban settlements. Towns like Pembroke, Hanover, and Bryantville are shown with their mid-century footprints, connected by a dense grid of local roads and the surviving Conrail line.
