2018 Map of Holliston

About this map

Holliston and Medway center this 2018 topographic study, where the developed corridors of Norfolk and Middlesex counties meet a landscape still defined by its complex glacial hydrology. Waterways like the Charles River, Bogastow Brook, and Hopping Brook thread through extensive wetlands, including the Great Black Swamp and Dirty Meadow Swamp. The map highlights a long history of settlement and community life, marked by numerous burial grounds such as Oakland Cem, Bragg Cem, and the West Burying Ground. Transportation patterns are anchored by Interstate 495 and the historic footprint of the Braggville Station, reflecting the area's evolution from a cluster of villages like Gooch Corners and Metcalf into a modern residential and light industrial region. Significant recreational and topographic features, from Lake Winthrop and its Pleasure Point to the elevations of Mt Hollis and Bare Hill, illustrate the varied terrain that has shaped the growth of East Holliston and West Medway.
