1950 Map of Plymouth

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Plymouth harbor and the surrounding coastal lowlands are captured here in a period of mid-century growth, balanced between its maritime heritage and the encroaching suburban infrastructure. The shoreline is defined by iconic landmarks such as Plymouth Rock and the outlying Fort Standish on Saquish Head, while the interior reveals a landscape heavily shaped by glacial activity and early industry. A dense network of ponds, including the large Billington Sea and Great South Pond, dominates the terrain south of the town center.
