2024 Map of Petersham

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Petersham anchors this Worcester County landscape, situated amidst a terrain of prominent peaks and protected waters. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the Quabbin Reservoir, where the shoreline at Albertines Cove and the waters of Pottapaug Pond meet the forest. This modern survey illustrates the enduring footprint of historic settlements, including the site of Dana Center and the village of Nichewaug. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Miles Holden Cem, Jenkins Cem, and Coolidge Cem, provides a significant record of the area's genealogical history. Numerous brooks, including Moccasin Brook and Danforth Brook, drain the high ground between Bald Hill and Whitney Hill, flowing through extensive wetlands like Higgins Swamp and Hemingway Swamp. The network of old thoroughfares, from the Monson Tpke Rd to Old Hardwick Rd, connects these upland ridges and low-lying basins.
