About this map

The Charles River winds through this landscape, defining the boundaries of historically significant townships like Medfield, Sherborn, and Millis. This area is characterized by its transition from old agricultural roots to suburban expansion, evidenced by the numerous transit points such as Farm Street Station and Medfield Junction. For genealogists, the map is a detailed resource, pinpointing the Old South Burying Ground and the Medfield State Hospital Cem, alongside local burial sites like Vine Lake Cem and Walpole Plains Cem.

Elevated terrain features such as Noanet Peak and Noon Hill stand out against the wetlands of the Great Black Swamp. Water bodies like Farm Pond and Highland Lake dot the region, while smaller features like Devilsfoot Island in the river and the cluster of settlements at Millis-Clicquot and Rockville illustrate the dense settlement pattern of Norfolk and Middlesex counties in the early 21st century.
