The Quabbin Reservoir dominates this 1952 topographic study, showing the engineered landscape of Central Massachusetts just a decade after the reservoir's filling. The massive Winsor Dam and Quabbin Dike hold back the waters of the Swift River, creating a complex shoreline that includes the high ground of the Prescott Peninsula and numerous islands like Little Quabbin and Mt Lizzie. This map captures the area's transition from a valley of lost towns to a managed watershed, preserving the names of local landmarks such as Quabbin Hill and its Lookout Tower.
