About this map

Massapoag Lake and the Rumford River corridor dominate this landscape on the border of Norfolk and Bristol counties. The area reflects a transition from late-industrial water-power hubs to early suburban development, centered around the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line. Industrial remnants are still visible at the Glue Factory Pond and Hammer Shop Pond, while the presence of Sacred Heart College and several local schools like the Hartwell Sch and Hall Sch indicates a growing community. Small crossroad settlements such as Ginty Corner and Purdy Corner highlight the older rural framework that persisted alongside the busier centers of Mansfield and Sharon. The topography, ranging from the low Great Woods to heights like Rattlesnake Hill, shaped the placement of local reservoirs like Neponset Reservoir.
