About this map

The Charles River winds through this landscape of suburban growth and preserved history in the mid-2010s, bordering the bustling centers of Franklin and Medway. The map captures the dense network of local cemeteries that anchor the region's genealogy, from Saint Josephs Cem to the West Burying Ground. Transportation patterns are anchored by the legacy of the rails, seen at Braggville Station, and major local thoroughfares like Washington St and Hartford Ave.

Inland water bodies and recreational camps define the northern and central sections, with Lake Winthrop and Houghton Pond providing significant landmarks. Smaller settlements and neighborhoods such as Metcalf, Caryville, and West Medway are well-defined, showing the residential evolution of these Massachusetts towns. The map also documents the several hills that shape the area's geography, including Zachary Hill and Broad Hill, which stand above the surrounding stream valleys like Chicken Brook and Mine Brook.
