About this map

Medfield State Hospital and the expansive Medfield State Forest define the central landscape of this late-twentieth-century study of the Charles River valley. The area exhibits a dense network of suburban growth and institutional presence, with numerous schools such as Kingsbury High Sch and New England Academy serving the established communities of Holliston, Medfield, and Medway.

Transport and recreation are intertwined across the terrain, where the Conrail lines intersect historic town centers and the Norfolk Airport provides local aviation access. Significant water bodies like Lake Winthrop and the Ashland Reservoir are surrounded by a mix of protected parklands and private development. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the large Lake Grove Cem and St Josephs Cem, providing a clear record of local settlement patterns during this era of Massachusetts development.
