1941 Map of Marion

About this map

Buzzards Bay and the coastal inlets of Plymouth County define this landscape during the early 1940s, a period when small harbors and agricultural bogs dominated the local economy. The coastline is heavily marked by nautical and leisure landmarks, from the Ned Pt light to the grounds of Tabor Academy and the Reservation Golf Club. Inland, the map reveals a history of small-scale industry and community life, featuring the Subservant Mill on the Branch River and the rural New Boston Chapel. The transportation network is anchored by the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which stops at Marion Sta. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burying grounds, such as Old Landing Cem, Hammond Cem, and Cushing Cem. Extensive cranberry bogs, including the Mattapoisett Bog and Long Pond Bog, illustrate the region's specialized agricultural character before post-war suburbanization.
