About this map

Wellesley and its surrounding academic landscape are the focal point of this modern topographic study, where several major institutions define the suburban character of the Middlesex and Norfolk county line. The campus grounds of Wellesley College, Babson College, and Regis College occupy significant footprints, while the presence of the Blessed John XXIII National Seminary and Brandeis Univ further north reflects the area's long-standing role as an educational hub.

Infrastructure and topography are intricately mapped, from the winding path of the Charles River to the historic Old Connecticut Path and the B & A RR corridor. Local history is preserved through numerous burial sites like the South Burying Ground and Plain Burial Ground. The map also captures the varied terrain of the region, naming numerous local landmarks such as Nob Hill, Carver Hill, and Pegan Hill, providing a detailed look at the interface between established residential neighborhoods and protected open spaces like Camp Mary Day.
