About this map

Fort Devens occupies a significant portion of the landscape southwest of Ayer, reflecting the military's growing footprint in the years leading up to World War II. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and glacial features, including Sandy Pond, Spectacle Pond, and the Nashua River. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, Groton maintains its institutional and social character with the Groton School, the Groton Cemetery, and the Groton Fair Grounds positioned along its primary thoroughfares.
