About this map

The Quabbin Reservoir defines the western edge of this 1980s terrain, marking a landscape reshaped by twentieth-century water management. At its shores, the remaining footprint of Dana Center and the East Branch Swift River illustrate the area's transition into a protected watershed. Further east, the Ware River winds through industrial and civic centers like South Barre and Barre Plains, where the Boston and Maine Railroad corridors still trace the valley floor. Genealogy and local history researchers will find a dense network of family and community sites, including the Milos Holden Cem, Coldbrook Cem, and the Marie Assumpta Academy. The landscape is characterized by numerous protected lands, from the Phillipston State Wildlife Management Area to the Federated Womens Club State Forest, preserving a quiet New England geography of drumlins and mill ponds.
