1937 Map of Manomet

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The coastal shelf of Plymouth meets the Atlantic in this pre-war survey, centered on the village of Manomet and the specialized agriculture of the Massachusetts shore. The landscape is defined by its cranberry industry, prominently featuring the Beaverdam Cranberry Bogs, Maple Swamp Bog, and Indian Brook Bog, showing the intricate water management required for these harvests. Along the coastline, leisure and maritime safety coexist, with the Plymouth Country Club occupying the northern heights while the Coast Guard Sta keeps watch from Manomet Pt. Inland, the terrain rises toward the Pine Hills, where landmarks like Telegraph Hill and Manomet Hill provided early mariners with navigational bearings. A network of early roads such as Sandwich Road and Warren Avenue connects coastal landings like Fishermans Ldg to established residential pockets at Priscilla Beach and White Horse Beach.
