About this map

The Quinebaug River winds through this New England landscape, anchoring the industrial and cultural hub of Southbridge. The town center is densely detailed, showing the Southbridge High School, the Harrington Memorial Hospital, and several parish sites including St Marys Cemetery and St Hedwigs Cemetery. To the west, the living history museum at Old Sturbridge Village is established near the river, complete with its Covered Bridges.

Transitioning south across the border into Woodstock, Connecticut, the terrain shifts from the developed corridors of Sturbridge and Fiskdale toward the wooded expanse of the Nipmuck State Forest. This area is defined by a series of reservoirs and ponds, such as Hatchet Pond and Breakneck Pond, which historically supported the region's manufacturing power. Notable landmarks like St Annes Shrine and the La Salette Mission House reflect the strong cultural and religious foundations of these Worcester County communities during the mid-20th century.
