2024 Map of Wareham

About this map

Wankinco Cranberry Bog and several other extensive agricultural wetlands such as Old Orchard Bogs define the unique industrial-natural landscape of this Plymouth County region. The map illustrates a complex water management system where reservoirs like Harwich Reservoir and Frogfoot Brook Reservoir support the region's historic cranberry production. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the Agawam River and the coast, where neighborhoods like Wareham Center, Onset, and Weweantic sit adjacent to the salt marshes of Muddy Cove. Modern infrastructure, including the CSX rail line and major highways, bisects established residential areas and local landmarks such as Centre Cem. Further north, the dense canopy of Myles Standish State Forest provides a stark contrast to the developed shoreline and the sandy reaches of Indian Mound Beach on Buzzards Bay.
