1962 Map of Plymouth

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Plymouth and North Plymouth are shown in detail just as the mid-century expansion of the coastal corridor began to modernize this colonial landscape. While the harbor remains the focal point with landmarks like Plymouth Rock and the National Monument overlooking Coles Hill, the map reveals the era's emerging infrastructure, including the Plymouth Municipal Airport and the path of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad. To the south and west, the terrain shifts into a dense network of glacial ponds and wetlands, such as Billington Sea and Great South Pond, reaching into the northern edge of the Myles Standish State Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the coast through Jabez Corner and Chiltonville, where traditional industries are represented by features like the Russell Millpond. This survey captures the transition from an old-world harbor town to a growing regional hub before the full impact of the interstate era.
