1946 Map of Wareham

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Myles Standish State Forest dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, a sprawling wooded area defined by dozens of small kettle ponds and early forestry roads like Federal Road and Halfway Road. The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals the intensive agricultural development of the region, where a complex network of wetlands has been converted into industrial-scale berry production. Names like Wankinco Cranberry Bog, Frogfoot Cranberry Bogs, and Federal Bogs signal the economic importance of this specialized crop to the Wareham and South Carver communities.
