About this map

The Wachusett Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its shoreline defining the edges of Boylston Center and the surrounding hills. This mid-century survey reveals a region transitioning from its agricultural roots into a more complex network of institutions and suburban infrastructure. The presence of specialized facilities like the Grafton State Hospital, Massic Hospital, and the Lyman State Sch indicates the area's historical role in providing large-scale public health and educational services for central Massachusetts.
