1957 Map of Wareham

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The vast glacial landscape of the Myles Standish State Forest dominates this interior portion of Plymouth County, characterized by a dense network of kettle ponds and sandy ridges. The agricultural economy of the era is clearly visible through the extensive Wankinco Cranberry Bog and several others scattered near Tihonet. Further south, the settlement of Wareham serves as a hub for the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which skirts the Agawam River and Broad Marsh River. This survey captures the mid-century development of seasonal and scout camps such as Camp Rockne, Camp Squanto, and Camp Chadalot, reflecting the region's transition into a destination for summer recreation. Notable local landmarks like Brandy Hill and the Air Strip near South Wareham provide specific points of reference for local historians.
