1939 Map of Plymouth

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Plymouth shoreline and the surrounding glacial landscape of Kingston and Carver appear here during the late 1930s. The coastline is defined by the sweeping reach of Plymouth Beach and the distinct points of Saquish Head and Saquish Neck guarding the harbor. Inland, the terrain is densely marked by kettle ponds and bogs, including the expansive Billington Sea and several productive commercial tracts like Cushman Bog and Pratt Bog. The map captures the industrial and maritime character of the era, from the waterfront at Cordage and North Plymouth to the historic significance of Plymouth Rock and Coles Hill. Transportation networks such as the New York New Haven and Hartford RR and the Plymouth and Middleboro Road demonstrate the region's connection to larger Massachusetts trade hubs.
