2012 Map of Wareham

About this map

Wareham and the surrounding coastal lowlands are defined by an intricate network of waterways and cranberry bogs, including Smalley Bogs and the Wankinco River Reservoir. The settlement pattern reflects the area's diverse uses, from the residential clusters at Pine Tree Village and Cranberry Village to the institutional footprint of the Massachusetts Correctional Institution Forestry Camp. Along the southern shoreline, communities like Indian Mound Beach and Jefferson Shores line the Buzzards Bay inlets, while the inland economy is marked by reservoirs like Frogfoot Reservoir and Harlow Brook Reservoir. Genealogists will find interest in several historic burial grounds, including Central Cem and Saint Patricks Cem. This coastal landscape also preserves significant recreational and conservation spaces, notably the Cachalot Scout Reservation and Camp Squanto.
