About this map

Monponsett Pond and the surrounding cranberry bogs of Plymouth County define this landscape during the mid-century, where agricultural industry and small-town settlements intersect. The map illustrates a region heavily reliant on its wetland geography, with numerous named bogs like Manneros Bog and Shaw Bogs supporting the local economy. Small crossroads communities and hamlets such as Eddyville, Waterville, and Harrubs Corner are connected by a network of roads and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered rural landmarks, including the Lakenham Cem and Thomastown Cem, alongside local educational centers like the Soule Sch and Garver Sch. The industrial footprint is further evidenced by Cole Mills and the extensive Little Cedar Swamp, which dominates the central terrain. This period shows the transition from traditional milling and farming toward more modern infrastructure, including State Hwy 106 and State Hwy 58.
