. Bulletin - Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station. Agriculture -- Massachusetts. 4 MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 387 Table 1. — Percentage of Land in Three Major Groups Classified on the Basis of Soil and Topography, by Counties ; Suitability for Agriculture County Good Medium Poor Barnstable Berkshire Bristol Essex Franklin Hampden Hampshire Middlesex. Norfolk Plymouth Worcester As a part of the classification essential for the background of land utilization analysis, two other maps were worked out: one indicating topography by means of contours adapted from the United States Topographical Survey, and the other showing in detail the location of roads and waterways in the individual towns. With all this detailed information available in a series of five maps for each com- munity, and with all factors presented on the same scale, it has become possible to study the fundamental land-use relationships in a most comprehensive and definite form. These basic data have been further tested and analyzed in local land-use planning committees and field studies in individual Chart I. Land Utilization in Massachusetts Based on Land Use Survey of 1936-38 and U. S. Census, 1940. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station.
