The Blackstone River and Quinsigamond River valleys anchor this landscape, where the historical industrial corridor of Worcester County is visible through numerous millponds and reservoirs. Clusters of settlements such as Fisherville, Saundersville, and Farnumsville illustrate the dense residential patterns that formed around river-powered manufacturing. Higher ground to the west and north is defined by landmarks like Brigham Hill and Potter Hill, while the southern portion of the sheet features the striking geological formation of Purgatory Chasm.
