About this map

Chaubunagungamaug Lake, with its famously long name and complex shoreline of North Pond, Middle Pond, and South Pond, dominates the center of this Worcester County landscape. The industrial and educational character of the early 1980s is evident in the dense settlement of Webster and the presence of Nichols College in neighboring Dudley. Transport corridors are well-established, with Interstate 395 cutting north-south and the Providence & Worcester RR following the path of the French River through North Village and East Village.

Genealogical interest is high in the surrounding hills, where smaller communities like South Charlton and West Oxford maintain distinct identities. Traditional landmarks such as Dresser Cem and Corbin Cem sit alongside numerous religious centers including St Josephs Ch and Holy Trinity Ch. The map also captures the sprawling Douglas State Forest to the east, providing a clear view of the tri-state boundary where Massachusetts meets Connecticut and Rhode Island.
