1972 Map of Wareham

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Myles Standish State Forest dominates the upper reaches of this landscape, its interior crisscrossed by firebreaks and roads like Three Cornered Pond Road and Upper College Pond Road that connect numerous glacial kettles, including Fearing Pond and Charge Pond. The 1972 topography reveals a regional economy deeply tied to water management, visible in the extensive Cranberry Bogs that follow the Wankinco River and Frogfoot Brook. In the more developed southern portion, the Penn Central rail line services settlements like Wareham and South Wareham. Local institutions such as the Decas Sch and the State Correctional Institution Forestry Camp are clearly marked, while family history can be traced through sites like Centre Cem and St Patricks Cem near the town center.
