About this map

Stony Brook and its numerous reservoirs and ponds define the industrial and recreational geography of this Middlesex County landscape. The settlements of Graniteville and Forge Village sit along the water's edge, reflecting a history of mill-driven development that has evolved into a suburban residential pattern. Further south, the Village of Nagog Woods and Littleton Common anchor the lower half of the quadrangle near the shores of Nagog Pond.

Genealogists will find several well-marked burial grounds, including Fairview Cem, Saint Catherines Cem, and Westlawn Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of named elevations such as Westford Prospect Hill and Kissacook Hill, which overlook a network of seasonal camps including Camp Nashoba and Camp Wakitina. The map also traces the modern transportation corridors that have superseded the older rail stops at Brookside Station, Westford Station, and Carlisle Station.
