1946 Map of Petersham

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Petersham serves as the central hub of this mid-1940s landscape, situated among a network of hills and water bodies just east of the expansive Quabbin Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural Massachusetts topography defined by significant elevation changes, from Bald Hill and Camels Hump Hill in the north to Potapaug Hill overlooking the reservoir's eastern shore. A complex system of swamps and brooks, including Higgins Swamp and Fever Brook, drains through the undulating terrain toward the Swift River basin.
