2021 Map of Wareham

About this map

Cranberry cultivation defines the landscape of this coastal Massachusetts quadrangle, where a complex network of managed wetlands like the Wankinco Cranberry Bog and Tihonet Cranberry Bogs weave between glacial ponds. The region is anchored by the settlement of Wareham, with several distinct residential pockets such as Oakdale, East Wareham, and the waterfront community of Indian Mound Beach. The Wankinco River and Agawam River converge near the town center, flowing toward the Broad Marsh River and the head of Buzzards Bay. This late-stage survey details the transition from traditional industry to modern residential development, including the Minot Forest parkland and established burial grounds like Saint Patricks Cem and Centre Cem. The extensive labeling of specific agricultural features like Parker Mills Bogs and Rogers Bogs provides an intricate look at the land use patterns that have shaped Plymouth County’s heritage.
