About this map

The Taunton River and its major tributary, the Nemasket River, define the agricultural and institutional character of this Plymouth County landscape. At the center of the sheet, the massive State Farm complex and the Lakeville State Sanitorium indicate the region's historical role in hosting large-scale state facilities. The convergence of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad lines in Middleboro underscores the town's importance as a regional transportation hub, while the surrounding area is dominated by specialized horticulture, visible in the extensive networks of Cranberry Bogs, Osburn Bog, and Fish Bogs.
