About this map

Winsor Dam and the expansive Quabbin Reservoir dominate this central Massachusetts landscape, where the managed waters of the Swift River valley meet the rugged uplands of the Worcester and Hampshire county borders. The map documents the engineering of the reservoir system, including the Calvin Coolidge Bridge and the cluster of islands such as Little Quabbin Island and peaks like Mt Lizzie that rise from the water.

South of the dam, the settlement patterns of West Ware and Ware Center are detailed alongside historic transit routes like the Monson Turnpike Rd and Old Ware-Enfield Rd. Local history and genealogy interest is centered on features like Quabbin Park Cem and several small water bodies including Beaver Lake and Peppers Mill Pond. The terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Quabbin Hill and the Richards Ledges, providing a clear view of the area's contemporary topography and land use.
