About this map

The Nashua River and its northern fork define the industrial and residential corridors of this central Massachusetts landscape. In the town of Clinton, the engineering legacy of the nineteenth century is evident at the Wachusett Dam, which contains the massive Wachusett Reservoir. This area reflects a complex water-management history, shown through features like the Cosgrove Aqueduct and the Lancaster Millpond. Further north, South Lancaster serves as an educational and cultural hub, anchored by the Atlantic Union Coll.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Old Settlers Cem, Middle Old Settlers Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. The settlement patterns vary from the dense urban center of Clinton to outlying clusters like Ebenville, Pratt Junction, and the Seventh Day Adventist Village. The transition from industrial riverfronts to high points like Wataquadock Hill and Rattlesnake Hill illustrates the region's topographical diversity.
