1950 Map of Sterling
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Stillwater River and Quinapoxet River converge in the southern reaches of this survey, feeding into the expansive Wachusett Reservoir through the Stillwater Basin and Thomas Basin. This mid-century landscape reflects a region deeply shaped by water management and transit, with the Boston and Maine railroad cutting through Sterling Junction and the eastern edge of the village of Sterling. Subterranean infrastructure is evidenced by Shaft No 1, Shaft No 2, and Shaft No 3, likely connected to the reservoir's complex aqueduct system.
