  • RED BROOK (WAREHAM). Red Brook, So Called from the Fact That the Stream Is Colored by Deposits of Iron Ore, Runs from White Island Pond to Buttermilk Bay
    106 with numerous 6-inch baffles. At the southern spillway the gates are so arranged that the person in charge of the fishway can regulate the flow of water for the catching pool. At Glen Pond the stream separates into two branches which enter the northeastern end of Agawam Pond. The western branch is used principally for cranberry bogs, and the eastern, or main stream, is blocked by a dam and spillway at the lower end of Glen Pond. A fishway in the form of a ditch 2 to 3 feet wide permits the alewives to pass into this pond. A recently constructed dam below Glen Pond is opened during the spring run. The majority of the alewives spawn in Glen Pond, and a small number in Spectacle Pond, which is con- nected with Agawam Mill Pond. Alewives are taken at East Wareham with dip nets, the catch ranging from 500 to 3,000 barrels. The fishery is sold at public auction, subject to certain restrictions, under the direction of a joint committee from the towns of Plymouth and Wareham. A few shad are taken each year and placed in the Agawam Mill Pond, this being one of the very few instances of an existing shad fishery. Between 1865 and 1913, a period of forty-nine years, the income from the fishery totaled $32,118.02, or an average of $655.47 per year, reaching the highest in 1892, when $1,352.50 was received by Wareham, the lowest in 1911, when only $55 was paid. The stream is a valuable asset to Wareham and Plymouth.

  • 170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth
    170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth Glenn d ’Entremont Forty miles south of Boston is a paradise where a patient observer can enjoy the tranquil transition from day to night. There is no better place to be after a long day’s work. Perhaps it is the sandy soil which absorbs the sound waves or its location several miles from any concentration of urban activity. Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same. Hermit Thmshes, Prairie Warblers, and Field Sparrows reluctantly give way to American Woodcock, Great Homed Owl, and Whip-poor-wills. This is not how it was. Before the filling in of Back Bay in Boston, before the slashing and burning of tropical forests of South America, a pristine hardwood forest was destroyed. At the time of the arrival of the Pilgrims, cherry and chestnut trees stood in the pine barrens now called the Myles Standish State Forest. Glaciers have shaped this terrain. It is pocked with kettleholes, bodies of water with no inlet or outlet. The water is colored brown by tannic acid. The sandy soil is glacial deposit. This area was the terminus of the sheet of ice covering New England, and when the glacier(s) retreated, pulverized stone in the form of sand was left. When first cut over by Europeans, the precious top soil was cultivated for a short period, and then it was washed away, leaving the sandy soil base deposited by the glaciers. This soil provides excellent drainage, good for the production of the scmb oak and pitch pine that dominate the landscape today.

  • General Description of the Six Ponds of Plymouth
    General Description of the Six Ponds of Plymouth Bloody Pond Little Long Pond Gallows Pond Long Pond Halfway Pond Round Pond The Six Ponds form a diverse set of kettle ponds in south Plymouth. The terrain is part of the Wareham outwash plain formed by the southerly flow of glacial meltwater to the North Atlantic Ocean during the terminal glaciation, approximately 14,000 years ago. The primary constituent of the outwash plain is sand laid down as the glaciers receded to the north. There are larger rocks and the occasional very large erratic. The general topography of southeastern Massachusetts was formed by the melting, outflow, and deposition of silicates as the glacial ice retreated. The rolling terrain is a remnant of the basal ice blocks remaining as the overlying glacier receded. The larger stagnant ice blocks resulted in deeper depressions and today those depressions with bottoms below the water table have produced the kettle ponds. The map below illustrates the location and dimensions of the Six Ponds. This map was obtained from the Mass GIS Oliver system. The bathmetry of Halfway, Little Long, and Long Ponds has been entered into Oliver; Bloody, Gallows, and Round Ponds have not had recent bathymetric surveys by the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW). Additional descriptions of Little Long and Long Ponds are available from https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/little-long- pond/resource/16f0a997-24bf-4708-abd7-aa612f20375a and https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/long-pond- plymouth/resource/f5f6de2a-32da-41de-93d7-a0347b554fd8.
