1942 Map of Shutesbury

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Quabbin Reservoir dominates the eastern margin of this landscape, its shoreline captured here in the early 1940s just as the massive watershed project was completed. The map details the transition from the high ridges of Mt Mineral and Brushy Mtn down to the scattered rural settlements of Shutesbury and Pelham. This was an era of small-scale mountain farming and local industry, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs and brooks like Baker Reservoir and Amethyst Brook that once powered local mills.
