1958 Map of Weymouth

About this map

The U S Naval Reservation South Weymouth Air Station dominates the southern landscape of this 1950s survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in Norfolk County during the Cold War. In Weymouth, the dense residential patterns of North Weymouth, East Weymouth, and South Weymouth are clearly visible, punctuated by local landmarks like Whitmans Pond and the Jefferson School. To the east, Hingham retains a more open character with features such as World's End and Baker Hill overlooking Hingham Harbor. The rail-centered commerce of the era is evident along the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line, which connects established centers like Braintree and North Abington. From the tidal flats of Mill Cove to the cemeteries of Fairmount Cemetery and St Pauls Cem, the map documents the post-war suburbanization and industrial character of the Massachusetts South Shore.
