About this map

Abington and Whitman anchor this detailed study of Plymouth County, where the dense suburban layout of Brockton gives way to a network of smaller villages and protected watersheds. The landscape is notably defined by its many historic burial sites, including the Old Church Burying Ground, the Torrey Family Burying Ground, and distinct family markers like the Nash Family Tomb. These sites, alongside the Island Grove Cem, provide a deep genealogical layer to a region that transitioned from early industrial centers to residential communities.

Water management and local hydrology are prominent throughout the area, from the Satucket River Reservoir to the Shumatuscacant River and Poor Meadow Brook. The presence of Massasoit Community Coll and the transit history represented by Old Colony Way reflect the modernization of these South Shore towns. Smaller settlements like Auburnville, Matfield Junction, and Elmwood remain visible as distinct nodes within the broader developed corridor.
