1962 Map of Snipatuit Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The cranberry culture of southeastern Massachusetts is evident across this landscape, where extensive wetland systems like Benson Pond Bogs and Atwood Bogs dominate the lowlands between Middleborough and Wareham. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving the industrial and agricultural needs of settlements such as South Middleboro and West Wareham. In the southern reaches, the Weweantic River and the East Branch Sippican River drain the complex network of swamps and ponds, including the large Snipatuit Pond with its distinctive Gull Island and High Bush Island. Local history is anchored at rural crossroads like Huckleberry Corner and Bisbee Corner, while the presence of the East Rochester Ch and Union Cem near Douglas Corner marks the centers of these small inland communities during the early 1960s.
