2012 Map of Winchendon

About this map

Winchendon Springs and Waterville anchor a landscape defined by the winding course of the Millers River as it flows through this northern Massachusetts borderland. The topography is dominated by numerous glacial hills and water bodies, from the sprawling Lake Monomonac on the New Hampshire line to the extensive wetlands of the Birch Hill Wildlife Area. Settlement patterns here reflect a long history of water-powered industry and community growth, with smaller clusters like Hydeville and Glenallen situated near river bends and mill ponds. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Old Center Cem and Rand Cem. Further south, the map details more contemporary land uses such as the Boy Scouts of America Camp Watalin Camping Area near Lake Denison, while the remote Parkers Station points to the area's rail heritage.
