1977 Map of Plymouth

About this map

Plymouth and the surrounding coastline are captured in this 1977 orthophotograph, showcasing the suburban development and wooded ponds of the South Shore during the late twentieth century. The imagery provides a clear view of the complex hydrology of the region, where the Jones River flows into the northern reaches near Kingston, and the expansive Billington Sea and South Pond dominate the interior landscape. The dense network of residential streets and highways contrasts with the preserved wetlands and tidal flats along Plymouth Bay, offering a detailed record of land use before further modern expansion.
