The Wachusett Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this central Massachusetts region, serving as a massive hydraulic anchor for the surrounding communities of Clinton, Boylston, and Berlin. This 2024 survey documents a complex network of historic burial sites and institutional grounds, notably the Old Common Burial Ground and the specialized Lancaster Industrial School for Girls Cem. Educational and industrial history is represented by Atlantic Union College and the naming of Ponakin Mill along the North Nashua River. Modern infrastructure and conservation efforts appear side-by-side, from the Cosgrove Aqueduct to the protected wetlands of the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge. The map also traces the conversion of historic rail corridors into recreational assets, such as the Mass-Central/Wayside Rail Trl.
