About this map

The sprawling waters of Lake Chaubunagungamaug dominate this borderland landscape, where the town of Webster meets the village of East Village. The map reveals a dense concentration of cultural history along the lake's northern shores, featuring numerous islands like Killdeer Island, Treasure Island, and Checkerberry Island. The area's genealogical significance is high, with a clustered corridor of burial grounds including Sacred Heart of Jesus Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Saint Anthony Cem serving the local communities.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the more rural landscapes of East Thompson and the shores of Wallum Lake, crossing the tri-state boundary where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island meet. Water resources define the local geography, from the industrial-era French River to larger bodies like Manchaug Pond and Sacarappa Pond. This 2021 update documents the modern infrastructure and recreational spaces, such as Colonial Park, that have grown around these long-established New England settlements.
