1947 Map of Weymouth

About this map

The New York New Haven and Hartford RR corridor defines the industrial and residential spine of this mid-century coastal landscape, connecting East Braintree and South Weymouth. This survey illustrates a period of significant post-war transition, where traditional New England town centers like Weymouth and Hingham sit alongside the expansive U S Naval Reservation. The map captures the working landscape of the era, from the heavy industry of the Plymouth Quarries and Miller Quarries to the civic foundations at the Civic Center and Town Hall.
