2015 Map of East Brookfield

About this map

The Quaboag River and its expansive wetlands anchor this Worcester County landscape, winding between the historic settlements of Brookfield, East Brookfield, and Spencer. This 2015 data reflects a terrain deeply shaped by its glacial hydrology, where large water bodies like Lake Lashaway, Quaboag Pond, and the twin Quacumquasit Pond dominate the lowlands. The central corridor is defined by the CSX Transportation line, which follows the river valley through a series of dramatic elevation changes marked by numerous named peaks such as Teneriffe Hill and Hitchcock Mtn. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for long-established burial grounds, including Brookfield Cem and the Podunk Cem located near Union Chapel. The landscape transitions from the industrial-era rail hubs in the north to the more secluded highlands of Walker Mtn and Carpenter Rocks to the south.
