1977 Map of Plymouth

About this map

Plymouth and the surrounding coastal landscape of Plymouth Bay are shown in detail as the region balanced its colonial heritage with modern growth. This 1970s revision highlights the dense network of freshwater ponds and reservoirs south of the town center, including the expansive Billington Sea, Great South Pond, and Little South Pond. The topography reveals the intricate coastal features from Saquish Head to the industrial wharf at Cordage, while the inland areas show the sprawling Myles Standish State Forest and the expanding infrastructure of the Plymouth Municipal Airport. Genealogists and local historians can trace burial sites at St Josephs Cem and Parting Ways Cem, or locate landmarks like the National Monument and Coles Hill near the historic waterfront. The presence of the Conrail line and the dual-campus Plymouth-Carver Sr High School reflect the mid-century development of this South Shore community.
