About this map

Lake Waushacum and its neighboring ponds anchor the central landscape of this 1946 study, which documents the rural character and expanding infrastructure of central Massachusetts just after the war. The map highlights the complex water systems of the region, including the Quabbin Aqueduct with several shafts such as Shaft 1 and Shaft 2, indicating the importance of regional water management for the growing population. Settlement patterns are concentrated around hubs like Sterling Junction and Oakdale, while the Boston and Maine RR provides the primary industrial artery through the valleys.
