1972 Map of Wareham

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Myles Standish State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where a dense network of freshwater ponds like College Pond and Fearing Pond is interspersed with an intricate system of Cranberry Bogs. This 1970s survey reveals the intense cultivation of the wetlands surrounding Tihonet Pond and Maple Swamp, illustrating the area's specialized agricultural history. To the south, the settlement of Wareham clusters along the waterways, showing the rail infrastructure of the Penn Central and the transition from inland forests to the tidal influence of Miller Cove. The map details the residential growth at White Island Shores and Oakdale, providing a clear record of the region's mid-century development. Genealogy researchers can locate family sites near Centre Cem and St Patricks Cem, or trace the old roads leading to South Carver through the pine barrens.
