About this map

The sprawling waters of Lake Chaubunagungamaug dominate this landscape near the tri-state junction where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island meet. The lake's complex shoreline is dotted with local landmarks such as Wawela Park, Colonial Park, and numerous islands including Killdeer Island and Bates Island. This survey illustrates a region defined by its glacial hydrology, where smaller basins like Manchaug Pond and Wallum Lake are connected by a network of drainage including Sucker Brook and the Fivemile River.

Settlement patterns concentrate around the historic centers of Oxford and East Village, while more rural pockets like West Sutton maintain a quiet character atop high ground such as Putnam Hill and Whittier Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cem to the family-named Bates Cem and Carpenter Cem. The industrial and residential growth of the area is underscored by the corridor of I-395, which cuts through the western terrain near Camp Hill.
