1937 Map of Manomet

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Manomet and the surrounding coastline of Plymouth, Massachusetts, reveal a 1930s landscape defined by maritime activity and agricultural specialization. The prominent Manomet Pt serves as a navigational anchor, marked by a Coast Guard Sta, while the rugged shoreline stretches from White Horse Beach down to the Manomet Bluffs. Inland, the topographic relief of the Pine Hills and Manomet Hill contrasts with the low-lying boglands. These wetlands represent a critical component of the local economy, shown through extensive networks like the Beaverdam Cranberry Bogs, Indian Brook Bog, and Maple Swamp Bog. Settlement patterns follow the coastal roads, connecting established areas like Priscilla Beach with smaller landings such as Fishermans Ldg and Churchill Ldg. This survey records a period when the South Shore's transition from traditional maritime work and cranberry cultivation to seasonal coastal residence was well underway.
