1939 Map of Plymouth

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Plymouth and its historic coastal environs are presented here during the late 1930s, documenting a landscape where maritime history meets early aviation and conservation. At the harbor entrance, landmarks like the Duxbury Pier Lighthouse and Fort Standish on Saquish Head protected the approaches to Plymouth Rock and Coles Hill. The shoreline reflects industrial activity at Cordage and North Plymouth, while the inland terrain is dominated by an extensive network of freshwater ponds including the sprawling Billington Sea and Great South Pond.
