1962 Map of Plympton

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Cranberry Bogs dominate the low-lying wetlands of Plymouth County, illustrating the intensive agricultural land use that defines the local economy between Plympton and Carver. The map reveals a transition from the industrial heritage of the Cole Mill area to a landscape shaped by glacial topography, featuring numerous water bodies like Monponsett Pond, Wenham Pond, and Muddy Pond. The settlement pattern is characterized by small village centers such as Eddyville, Waterville, and Harrubs Corner, many situated along the historical route of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad. Topographic landmarks like Mt Carmel and Prospect Hill rise above the surrounding Turkey Swamp and Little Cedar Swamp, providing a clear view of the natural drainage systems of the Winnetuxet River and Jones River that supported early colonial and later industrial development.
