About this map

The Wachusett Reservoir defines the northern edge of this Worcester County landscape, where the waters of Andrews Harbor and Lord Cove meet a terrain of named drumlins like Tower Hill and Ball Hill. In the mid-twentieth century, the area shows a transition between traditional village centers like Boylston Center and Northboro and the expanding residential corridors of Shrewsbury. Large institutional sites are prominent, including the Masonic Hospital, the Grafton State Hospital, and the Lyman State Sch.
