About this map

The Charles River winds through this mid-century landscape of Norfolk and Middlesex Counties, defining the boundaries and character of settlements like Millis, Sherborn, and Medfield. This era shows a community defined by its institutional and natural landmarks, notably the sprawling Medfield State Hospital complex and the preserved grounds of the Rocky Woods Reservation. The map details the local infrastructure of the New Haven Railroad as it services stops like Farm Street Station and Medfield Junction, reflecting a transition toward suburban growth seen in developments like Crownridge Estates. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, from the Vine Lake Cem to the Medfield State Hospital Cem. The varied topography includes landmarks such as Noanet Peak and Mount Misery, alongside numerous water bodies like South End Pond and Highland Lake that once supported local industry and recreation.
