About this map

The Fort Devens Military Reservation anchors the southeastern portion of this landscape, its grounds housing the Lovell Gen Hospital and the Sheridan Rifle Range during the late 1940s. The region is characterized by a dense network of glacial hills and water bodies, including the centrally located Shirley Reservoir and Massapoag Pond. Historical settlement patterns are visible in the distinct villages of Shirley Center, North Shirley, and Goodrichville, while the industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Boston and Maine Railroad corridors and an Abandoned Airfield near Lunenburg. The presence of the Industrial School and several sectarian burial grounds, such as the Shaker Cemetery and St Cecilia Cemetery, provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the Middlesex and Worcester County borderlands.
