About this map

Great Blue Hill and the surrounding reservation dominate this 1930s landscape, featuring the Observatory and CCC Camp No 1170 nestled within the terrain. The map captures a moment when institutional life was a primary feature of the region, evidenced by the Milton Academy, Jeanne D'arc Academy, and the Boston Sch for the Deaf in Randolph. The industrial footprint of the era is remarkably specific, locating the American Fireworks Co of Mass near North Stoughton and the textile-related Sloughton Mills to the south.
