2015 Map of Ware
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
The Ware River carves a central path through this section of Massachusetts, defining a corridor of industry and settlement that includes Gilbertville, Wheelwright, and the historic site of Furnace. This waterpower-driven development is punctuated by the Ware-Hardwick Covered Bridge, a notable landmark spanning the river between the townships. The terrain is marked by numerous drumlins and summits such as Dougal Mtn and Ragged Hill, which overlook a landscape dotted with local cemeteries including Saint Aloysius Cem and Taylor Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the dense street grids of Ware in the southwest to the more open, upland spaces of New Braintree and Hardwick. Aviation history is also present here, with both Ware Airport and the Tanner-Hiller Airport situated among the hills.
