About this map

Lake Chaubunagungamaug dominates the southern landscape, its complex shoreline defined by landmarks such as Killdeer Island, Goat Island, and Point Breeze. The area serves as a significant tri-state junction where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island meet near East Thompson. This 2015 survey illustrates the residential expansion around the lake and north toward Oxford, with established neighborhoods like Lakeview Heights, Wawela Park, and Orchard Hills Estates appearing alongside older infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Church Street Cem, Lakeside Cem, and several denominational grounds such as Saint Josephs Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial ponds and hills, including Whittier Hill and Sugarloaf Hill, with the Fivemile River and Tinkerville Brook draining the southern reaches toward the Connecticut border.
