About this map

The Wachusett Reservoir and the industrial corridors of the Nashua River and Assabet River anchor this late-twentieth-century study of central Massachusetts. The landscape reflects a dense history of manufacturing and transport, where the Boston & Maine RR tracks once connected established mill villages like Ponakin Mill and Gleasondale. Significant public lands shape the topography, including the Fort Devens Military Reservation to the north and the sprawling Bolton Flats State Wildlife Management Area along the river bottomlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of named landmarks, from the District Courthouse in Clinton to several historic burial grounds including Old Settlers Cem and Woodlawn Cem. Educational institutions like the Hudson High Sch and Nashoba Regional High Sch serve the growing suburban communities of Hudson and Bolton. The map also captures several flood control areas, such as the Brewer Brook Dam State Flood Control Area, and the distinctive residential layouts around Lake Boon.
