2015 Map of Winchendon

About this map

The Millers River flows through a landscape defined by the intersection of water and industry, where settlements like Waterville and Hydeville reflect the region's historic manufacturing character. This 2015 study detail shows the complex hydrology of northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, featuring numerous reservoirs and mill ponds such as Damon Mill Pond and Whites Mill Pond. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises including Benjamin Hill and Thrasher Hill, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Old Military Rd and Old Turnpike Rd. Central to the area is the town of Winchendon, surrounded by smaller hamlets like Bullardville and Winchendon Springs. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many burial sites across the landscape, from Hillside Cem near the state line to the Old Center Cem in Winchendon Center. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on a place where early village clusters and water-powered mill sites remain deeply etched into the geography.
