CRANBERRY BOGS

Warrens, Monroe County. July, 1959. Altitude c. 5,000 feet. Several large cranberry bogs are highlighted by the white sand of dikes and roads. Some small lakes, extensive marshland, and a few areas of trees occupy the major portion of this verdant landscape, once beneath the waters of Glacial Lake Wisconsin. This is the state's primary cranberry-producing locality. Wisconsin and Massachusetts vie for the top position among the states in cranberry output.
