The Taunton Wild and Scenic River and its major tributaries, including the Town River and Nemasket River, define the landscape of these historic Plymouth County communities. In Bridgewater, the campus of Bridgewater State University stands near the Old Colony RR corridor, surrounded by numerous burial grounds like Mount Prospect Cem and the Old Saint Thomas Aquinas Cem. The geography transitions from the developed grids of Middleborough Center to the extensive wetlands of the Great Cedar Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, from the Cem at The Green near the settlement of The Green to specialized sites such as the State Smallpox Farm Cem and Tack Factory Cem, reflecting the early industrial and institutional history of the region.
