1952 Map of Winsor Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Winsor Dam and the massive Quabbin Dike dominate this landscape, representing the southern engineered terminus of the Quabbin Reservoir. Completed just over a decade before this revision, the reservoir flooded several valley towns to provide water for Boston, leaving the Prescott Peninsula as a restricted interior wilderness. The map captures the infrastructure of this transformation, from the Quabbin Aqueduct to the Quabbin Park Cemetery, which was established to hold remains relocated from the inundated valley.
