About this map

Massapoag Lake and the Canoe River basin define this Norfolk County landscape, captured here as the industrial and transit networks of the mid-1940s remained firmly in place. The area is a complex web of small manufacturing ponds and rail lines, including the New York New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Providence railroads. These lines converge at Mansfield, highlighting its role as a regional junction.

Smaller settlements like East Foxboro and Furnace Village Easton PO are documented alongside numerous civic institutions, including the Pratt Sch and Sacred Heart College. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as King Philips Rock and the Fire Tower Moose Hill, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Great Woods and the expanding residential footprints of Sharon and Foxboro.
