1893 Map of Middleboro

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

The Namasket River flows through the heart of Middleboro, a vital transportation hub in the late nineteenth century. This era is defined by the convergence of several lines of the Old Colony Railroad, including the Taunton Branch and the Cape Cod Branch. These tracks connected manufacturing points like Paper Mill Village and Titicut to the broader regional economy. The landscape is dominated by the massive water systems of Assawompsett Pond and the surrounding wetlands of Great Cedar Swamp. Local commerce and community life are evident in the numerous small stations and sub-settlements like Eddyville, Rock Station, and East Freetown Station. The detailed topography recorded by Sumner H. Bodfish reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Wenatuxet River and numerous brooks that powered early industry.
