About this map

Scituate Reservoir dominates this landscape, its expansive waters following the natural drainage of Moswansicut Brook and Quonopaug Brook. The 1943 topography shows the infrastructure of the era, including the Filtration Plant and Fire Tower near Tunk Hill. Villages like North Scituate and Greenville serve as hubs connected by major thoroughfares such as Hartford Pike and Plainfield Pike.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the Scituate Town House to rural schools like Pippin Orchard Sch. The map preserves the locations of numerous family-named hills, including Shake Hill and Peck Hill, alongside several religious and memorial sites such as Belknap Ch and the Glenford Cem. This survey captures the transition between the rolling hills of Glocester and the burgeoning suburban development near Simmonsville during the mid-war period.
