About this map

Lake Chaubunagungamaug dominates the southwestern portion of this mid-century survey, its intricate shoreline dotted with local summer destinations like Wawela Park and Colonial Park. This region, spanning the intersection of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, reveals a landscape defined by its glacial history and industrial water management. The massive Douglas Woods and the Douglas Cedar Swamp stretch across the central terrain, while the northeastern corner shows the early development of Sutton and the waters of Manohaug Pond. Transport and trade are etched into the land via the Central Turnpike and the York New Haven and Hartford rail lines. Notable landmarks such as the Fire Tower on Goat Hill provide vertical perspective over a terrain of ponds and reservoirs, including Slaters Pond and the expansive Wallis Reservoir, illustrating the area's transition from rural timberlands and early manufacturing centers like East Village to a popular recreational corridor.
