2024 Map of Holliston

About this map

The Charles River winds through this landscape of the Metrowest region, anchoring the settlements of Holliston, Medway, and the industrial edge of Milford. The terrain is defined by a series of glacial hills, including Broad Hill, Bald Hill, and Mt Hollis, which overlook a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies such as Lake Winthrop and Chicken Brook. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous colonial-era and community burial sites, including the West Burying Ground, Indian Cem, and Lake Grove Cem. The transition from agrarian roots to suburban development is evident in the clusters of named corners and stations like Gooch Corners and Braggville Station, while the presence of Camp Breezy Meadow and Camp Bob White speaks to the area's mid-century role as a center for summer recreation and open space preservation.
