About this map

Cranberry cultivation dominates the lowlands of Plymouth County in the late 1930s, where an intricate network of specialized agriculture defines the landscape. The proliferation of named bogs, such as Wankinco Cranberry Bog and Frogfoot Cranberry Bogs, reflects a highly developed industry dependent on the region's unique hydrology. This water-rich environment is further characterized by numerous glacial kettle ponds, including College Pond, Fearing Pond, and the expansive White Island Pond, many of which are contained within the boundaries of Myles Standish State Forest.
