1940 Map of Wrentham

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Wrentham and Foxboro anchor this pre-war landscape in Norfolk County, where the New York New Haven and Hartford RR snakes through a series of mill-driven settlements. The map illustrates a transitional New England economy, balancing institutional landmarks like the State Prison Colony and Pondville Hospital against a backdrop of historic family landholdings and small rural centers. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, from the Tenmile River in the south to the massive Cedar Swamp in the east, feeding into numerous ponds like Lake Pearl and Archer Lake. Local history is preserved in the detailed marking of local schools such as Everett Sch and Vogel Sch, alongside small burial grounds like Bacon Cem and Quaker Cem, which reflect the early Quaker influence in the region near the Bristol County line.
