2012 Map of Holliston

About this map

Holliston and Medway anchor this 2012 topographic study of the Upper Charles River valley, revealing a landscape where colonial-era burial grounds and industrial heritage sites persist amidst modern suburban growth. The sheet identifies numerous historically significant cemeteries including the Holliston Center Cem, Indian Cem, and the West Burying Ground near Bare Hill. The industrial past of the region is evidenced by features like the Leland Millpond and the rail-oriented legacy of Braggville Station, while the north is defined by the Ashland Reservoir and the Workmans Circle Camp. Between the major town centers, the map traces the intricate drainage of Bogastow Brook, Chicken Brook, and Hopping Brook, showing how these waterways influenced the development of small communities like Metcalf and Caryville. This survey provides a precise modern look at the preservation of open spaces like Arcadian Farms alongside 21st-century residential patterns.
