Plympton, Massachusetts

The Plympton Village Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Plympton, Massachusetts. It is a roughly linear district, running along Main Street (Massachusetts Route 58) between Palmer Road and Mayflower Road. There are twenty buildings in the district, most of which are residential. The focal point of the district, however, is the town green, around which the town's main civic buildings are arrayed. The green was laid out in 1702, but the oldest civic building (the First Congregational Church) was built in the 1850s, a period in which many of the houses were also built. The oldest building in the district is the Reverend Ezra Sampson House at 255 Main Street, which was built in the late 18th century.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Harrobs Corner Bog Pond is a 16-acre (65,000 m2) pond in Plympton, Massachusetts. The pond is located in the North Plympton section of the town north of Harrobs Corner off Route 106 and Lake Street, and south of Silver Lake village. The pond is hydrologically associated with a cranberry bog operation located to the northeast of the pond. An unnamed brook heading south toward Jones River Creek, a tributary of the Jones River, is the outflow of the pond. The water quality is impaired due to non-native aquatic plants in the pond.

Fuller Street Pond is a 21-acre (85,000 m2) pond in Carver and Middleborough, Massachusetts. The pond gets its name from the name of the street along the pond's northern shore on the Carver side. The street name on the Middleborough side is Stone Street. The water quality is impaired due to non-native aquatic plants and non-native fish.

Indian Pond is a 66-acre (270,000 m2) shallow, infertile, warm-water pond in Kingston and Plympton, Massachusetts, west of Route 80 and north of the new U.S. Route 44 highway. The average depth of the pond is three feet. Access to the pond is off Indian Road in Plympton. Fishing is regarded as generally poor due to the acidity of the water and the pond's natural infertility.

Monponsett Pond, also called Monponsett Lake and the Twin Lakes, originally one lake is dissected by route 58 into a system of two ponds, West and East, mostly in Halifax, Massachusetts, with a small portion of West Monponsett Pond extending into Hanson. The western basin is 308 acres (1.25 km2), and the eastern basin is 272 acres (1.10 km2). The average depth of both ponds is seven feet and the maximum depth is 13 feet (4.0 m). The outflow is Stump Brook (Snaky River on some historical maps), located in the northwestern part of West Monponsett Pond, which flows in a southwest direction into Robbins Pond, which forms the headwaters of the Sautucket River, a tributary of The Taunton River. The pond is part of the Taunton River Watershed. Water from Monponsett is diverted into Silver Lake, the principal water supply for the City of Brockton. Water diversions from Monponsett into Silver lake are not permitted during the summer months from June 1st - September 30th. Diversions are only allowed during the months of October through May. Route 58 bisects the two ponds. A paved boat launching ramp to West Monponsett Pond is on this highway north of White Island Road. White Island in the center of the pond is known to have been the fishing camp of Wamsutta, brother of Chief Metacomet (also known as King Philip). A culvert connecting the two ponds is nearby. Route 106 runs close to the southern shore of East Monponsett Pond, and Route 36 abuts the southeast corner of East Monponsett Pond, where there is a paved launching ramp. Access to West Monponsett Pond for larger boats can be found off of route 58, and for smaller boats there is an unpaved ramp off Lingan Street. Monponsett Pond Seaplane Base is located on this pond.

Silver Lake is a 640-acre (2.6 km2) lake in Pembroke, Kingston, and Plympton, Massachusetts, south of Route 27 and east of Route 36. The Pembroke/Plympton town line is entirely within the lake, and a portion of the western shoreline of the lake is the town line with Halifax. It used to be called the Jones River Pond, but its name was changed to Silver Lake in the 1800s in a marketing effort to sell more ice from it. The lake is the principal water supply for the City of Brockton, whose water treatment plant is on Route 36 in Halifax. The inflow of the pond is Tubbs Meadow Brook, and the pond is the headwaters of the Jones River. Occasionally water is diverted into Silver Lake from Monponsett Pond in Halifax and Furnace Pond in Pembroke (through Tubbs Meadow Brook) whenever there is a water shortage. Although the lake is a reservoir, which prevents recreational activities to keep the drinking water clean, the water from the diversions are not and can pump in contaminated water. Monponsett Pond in particular has reoccurring toxic algae growths which get transferred into the lake. It is supposed to be the main source of the Jones River by contributing about twenty percent of the river's flow, but the Forge Pond Dam near its base lets out minimal, some years no, water to the river. This also prevents migratory aquatic animals from reaching the lake. Brockton prefers to keep the dam to have more accessible water. Access to the pond is through Silver Lake Sanctuary, a 92-acre (370,000 m2) property where one can walk, hike and fish, which is located at the end of Barses Lane, off Route 27 in Kingston.

Crossman Pond is a 15-acre (61,000 m2) pond in Kingston, Massachusetts, located off Wapping Road (Route 106) and South Street. The pond is hydro logically associated with a cranberry bog operation located to the west of the pond. The outflow is an unnamed stream that feeds the cranberry bog, ultimately leading to Fountainhead Brook, a tributary of the Jones River. The water quality is impaired due to non-native aquatic plants.
