About this map

Oakdale and Sterling Junction serve as key hubs in this Worcester County landscape, where the Boston and Maine Railroad weaves through a network of waterways feeding the Wachusett Reservoir. The map documents critical infrastructure of the era, including the Quabbin Aqueduct with visible markers for Shaft 1, Shaft 2, and Shaft 3. This subterranean engineering feat mirrors the complex surface water system defined by the Stillwater River and Stillwater Basin.
