About this map

Industrial corridors and densely settled urban centers define this regional study of eastern Massachusetts as it appeared in the late 1980s. The landscape transitions from the dense coastal core of Boston and Cambridge to the satellite manufacturing hubs of Worcester and Woonsocket. Transport networks, including the Mbta and Conrail lines, link the Atlantic coast to the interior, where major waterworks like the Wachusett Reservoir and Lake Cochituate dominate the terrain.
