1967 Map of Quabbin Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Quabbin Reservoir dominates this mid-century landscape, its sprawling waters surrounding numerous islands that were once high ground in the Swift River Valley. The map captures the area after the valley's inundation, showing the dramatic topography of Mount Zion, Mount L, and Curtis Hill rising as islands from the reservoir. On the western shore, the remnants of rural life remain visible in the road networks around North Prescott and Cooleyville. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Mtn View Cem or the legacy of smaller settlements like Putnam and Gearing Sta. The eastern edge is defined by the Federated Womens Club State Forest and the steep terrain leading to The Gorge, illustrating the transition from managed forest lands to the protected watershed that secures the region's water supply.
