About this map

The Charles River winds through this 1930s landscape, defining the boundaries and drainage of a region transitioning from rural agricultural roots to a suburban-institutional character. A massive footprint is occupied by the Medfield State Hospital and its associated Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal infrastructure, showing the scale of early 20th-century state facilities. Settlement is concentrated in the village centers of Medfield and Millis, both served by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line.
