1971 Map of Weymouth

About this map

South Weymouth Naval Air Station anchors the southern portion of this coastal Norfolk County landscape, illustrating the significant military presence in the region during the early 1970s. The map captures the dense suburban development of Quincy and Weymouth, where tight residential grids meet the complex shoreline of Town River Bay and the Fore River. Industrial and maritime features are prominent, including the drydocks and powerplant near Quincy Point, and several active quarries and gravel pits that underscore the area's geological utility. Inland, the landscape is punctuated by numerous schools like Notre Dame Academy and South High Sch, alongside spiritual and historic sites such as Old North Cem and St Francis Xavier Cem. The Penn Central rail lines and various state routes weave through established neighborhoods like East Braintree and Lovell Corners, connecting the industrial waterfront to the interior woodlands and reservoirs.
