About this map

The Piscataquog River and its various branches define the landscape of this region during the late 1960s, a period marked by significant hydrological management. The massive Hopkinton-Everett Reservoir and the Everett Dam are central to the terrain, which is otherwise characterized by a dense network of hills and localized settlements. Small clusters of habitation like Chase Village, Tavern Village, and Riverdale are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by historical routes such as Bassett Mill Road and Dougherty Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds, including the Quaker Cem, Stark Cem, and Pine Grove Cem. The area’s industrial and agricultural past is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and an Old Railroad Grade that traces the river's path through Clough State Park. From the heights of Mt William to the marshy expanse of Perkins Pond Marsh, the map details a community deeply integrated with its waterways and upland topography.
