1962 Map of Plympton

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Cranberry Bogs dominate the low-lying wetlands of this Plymouth County landscape, illustrating the region's specialized agricultural heritage in the early 1960s. The town of Plympton serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller historical clusters like Eddyville, Waterville, and Harrubs Corner. Water defines the geography, from the expansive Monponsett Pond in the north to the Winnetuxet River and numerous smaller basins such as Muddy Pond and Wenham Pond. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of Lakenham Cem, Thomastown Cem, and the Carver Sch. The map reveals a network of established country roads, including Wapping Road, Mayflower Road, and Purchase Street, connecting scattered farmsteads and rural crossroads. The southern portion includes portions of the State Forest and the community of Carver, where the landscape transitions into the dense thickets of Cedar Swamp.
