1977 Map of Plympton

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Turkey Swamp and Peterson Swamp dominate the interior landscape of this region during the mid-1970s, illustrating the dense wetland topography that shaped local development in Plymouth County. The map details a network of cranberry bogs that thread between the Winnetuxet River and numerous ponds like Muddy Pond and Wenham Pond. Small, historic settlements and crossroad hamlets are captured at a point of relative stability before modern expansion, including North Carver, Thomastown, and Waterville. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies specific community landmarks such as Lakenham Cem and the Carver Sch. The presence of the Myles Standish State Forest in the southeast and the various Gravel Pits scattered throughout reflect the area's dual heritage of conservation and extraction.
