About this map

Clinton and the surrounding Worcester County hills are defined by the massive expanse of the Wachusett Reservoir, which dominates the southern half of this landscape. The reservoir's construction altered the local geography, leaving landmarks like Cemetery Island and Cunningham Ledge rising from the water, while the Musgrove Aqueduct carries its vital supply eastward. To the north, the North Nashua River winds through industrial and educational hubs, passing the Ponakin Mill and the campus of Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the region, including the Old Settlers Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The transportation corridor of the B & M RR links these communities, from the residential neighborhoods of Leominster in the northwest to the rural corners of West Berlin. The terrain is punctuated by named peaks such as Wataquadock Hill and Rattlesnake Hill, providing a clear view of the complex hydrology and settlement patterns of central Massachusetts.
