1953 Map of Holliston

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Holliston and West Medway serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the Charles River headwaters. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of glacial hills, including Mt Hollis, Magunco Hill, and Strawberry Hill, interspersed with wetlands like Kirby Swamp and Cedar Swamp. The industrial and transit legacy of the region is evident in the path of the Boston and Albany RR and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which connect settlements like Metcalf and Braggville. Local social history is captured through the presence of numerous specialized summer retreats such as Camp Bob White, Workmans Circle Camp, and Breezy Meadow Camp, reflecting the area's role as a recreational destination for nearby urban centers. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked Evergreen Cem and St Mary Cem, while the location of the Stone Quarry near Rocky Hill points to the local extractive economy of the era.
