About this map

Whitman and East Bridgewater center this Plymouth County landscape, where the Shumatuscacant River and Satucket River converge among numerous wetlands and meadows. The area is dense with sites of genealogical interest, including the Old Church Burying Ground, the Bicknell Family Tomb, and the Torrey Family Burying Ground. Educational and healthcare institutions like Massasoit Community College and the Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing mark the western edge near Brockton. In the south, the rail-oriented heritage of the region is visible at Elmwood Station and Matfield Junction. The terrain is characterized by low-lying basins such as Hobart Meadow and Beech Hill Swamp, contrasting with local rises like Spragues Hill and Beech Hill. This map documents a suburban landscape that still preserves its historic burial sites and intricate river network.
