1942 Map of Ware

About this map

The Quabbin Reservoir dominates the center of this landscape, reflecting a massive transformation of the Swift River Valley as it appeared in the early 1940s. While many towns were submerged to create the reservoir, surrounding settlements like Ware Center and Belchertown remained vital hubs. This map reveals a complex industrial and institutional geography, featuring the Bald Peak Hospital and the industrial activity near Three Rivers, where several rail lines converge.
