About this map

Wankinco Cranberry Bog and several dozen named wetlands characterize the landscape of southeastern Massachusetts in the mid-1930s. The region is defined by an intensive agricultural pattern of bog cultivation, visible in the dense clusters of Federal Bogs and Harlow Cranberry Bogs near South Carver. This intricate network of man-made and natural hydrology feeds the Wankinco River and Tihonet Brook, supporting a specialized economy centered on the cranberry industry before modern suburban expansion.
