About this map

Holliston serves as the central hub of this late-1960s landscape, where the Penn Central rail line cuts a path through the rolling terrain of Middlesex and Norfolk Counties. The map reveals a dense network of local schools and civic landmarks, from the Miller Sch to the High Sch, alongside numerous spiritual and memorial sites like St Marys Cem and the Sacred Heart Ch in the southwest.

Water defines the geography of the surrounding townships, with Lake Winthrop and the Charles River providing significant landmarks for local navigation. The presence of specialized locations such as Breezy Meadow Camp and the YMCA Camp near the Ashland Reservoir suggests a region well-integrated with outdoor recreation and seasonal retreats. Industrial and transit history is preserved through labels for the Braggville Station and various gravel pits and quarries that dot the hillsides near Metcalf.
