2021 Map of Webster

About this map

The French River and Quinebaug River converge in this industrial and academic landscape straddling the Massachusetts and Connecticut border. The hilltop campus of Nichols College overlooks the settlement of Dudley, while numerous small mill-town clusters like Chaseville, Perryville, and Fennerville line the watercourses to the east. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of local history, where historic burial grounds such as Village Cem and Corbin Cem sit adjacent to modern features like Dresser Hill Airport. To the north, the landscape is defined by significant water management and recreation areas, including the South Charlton Reservoir and the Community Park near Buffumville. The presence of the Midstate Trl and the Quinebaug Valley Trl highlights the area's transition toward recreational use, even as the names of many hills—like Dresser Hill and Pumpkin Hill—preserve the agricultural and family heritage of Worcester and Windham counties.
