1918 Map of Middleboro

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Assawompsett Pond and the surrounding wetlands of Plymouth County dominate this tactical survey, highlighting the complex water and rail networks of the early twentieth century. The Old Colony Railroad serves as the primary infrastructure backbone, with several specialized lines including the Plymouth & Middleboro Branch and the New Bedford Branch connecting rural outposts. Local industrial and institutional life is marked by sites like Paper Mill Village and the Lakeville State Sanatarium. The landscape is a mosaic of massive cedar swamps, including the Great Cedar Swamp and Little Cedar Swamp, interspersed with small named settlements such as The Green, Eddyville, and Rock Station. Significant geological and folklore-rich features like Sampsons Cave and the curiously named Mad Mare's Neck provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing old property lines and family origins in this part of southeastern Massachusetts.
