1969 Map of East Brookfield

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Quaboag River and its massive expansion at Quaboag Pond anchor this detailed landscape in central Massachusetts, reflecting a region defined by its glacial lakes and industrial rail corridors. Near the village of Brookfield, the Penn Central line parallels the river, serving as the backbone for local commerce and connectivity. To the south, the terrain rises toward Walker Mountain and Hitchcock Mountain, where Wells State Park preserves the upland woods. This survey documents the mid-century layout of historic town centers, capturing the spatial relationship between old burying grounds like Holy Rosary Cem and Podunk Cem and the expanding recreational areas around Lake Lashaway and Walker Pond. The presence of the Brookfield Airport and the Mass Turnpike cutting through the southern townships highlights the era's shift toward modern automotive and aerial transit while traditional crossroads like Rice Corner Crossroads remain intact.
