2018 Map of Blue Hills

About this map

Adams National Historical Park anchors the northeast corner of this landscape, marking the intersection of American political history and the local terrain. The rugged uplift of the Blue Hills dominates the central and western portions of the quadrangle, featuring prominent summits like Great Blue Hill, Chickatawbut Hill, and Hancock Hill. This area is a complex network of conservation land and outdoor recreation, containing Camp Sayre and the sprawling Blue Hills Reservoir. The topography transitions from these steep ridges into the developed residential and civic centers of Quincy, Randolph, and Holbrook. Substantial water resources, including the Great Pond Reservoir and Great Pond Upper Reservoir, are prominent features that reflect the region's managed municipal water systems and historical land use. Numerous cemeteries, such as the Christ Church Burial Ground and Blue Hill Cem, provide valuable reference points for genealogists tracking family roots across this part of Norfolk County.
