2015 Map of Webster

About this map

The French River and Quinebaug River corridors anchor this industrial and academic landscape, where the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut meets at the villages of Quinebaug and Fabyan. The textile-mill heritage of the region is evident in the cluster of named villages surrounding Webster, including North Village, Merino Village, Perryville, and Fennerville. On the heights above the river valleys, Nichols College sits as a prominent institutional landmark near Dudley, while the Dresser Hill Airport and several family-named burying grounds like Dresser Cem and Corbin Cem reflect long-standing local history. The northern portion of the map is defined by significant water management features, including the S Charlton Reservoir and the Buffumville Lake flood control project, which has transformed the area around Community Park and South Charlton into a mix of recreational space and water storage.
