1886 Map of Plymouth

USGS Topo · Published 1886

About this map

Plymouth and the surrounding coastline of the South Shore are shown here as a landscape of interconnected glacial ponds and burgeoning railroad infrastructure. The Old Colony Railroad Plymouth Division and the Old Colony Railroad Cape Cod Branch link coastal settlements like Kingston and Wareham with the interior, while the emerging Cape Cod Canal cuts through the southeastern corner near Sagamore. This survey documents a critical period for the region as it transitioned from traditional maritime and river-based economies—represented by the Agawam River and Jones River—to more modernized transportation networks.
