About this map

The Neponset River Reservation and the rising elevations of the Blue Hill Reservation define the landscape south of Boston during this late 19th-century survey. The area is a dense network of industrializing townships and water-powered history, from the iron-working origins of Furnace Village to the mill-driven growth of Canton and Stoughton. The map reveals the intricate hydrologic pattern of the region, featuring major water bodies like Massapoag Pond and Reservoir Pond, which sustained early industry.
