Massachusetts Geography Ideas Overview: Richard A.

Some of his ideas of what to include are listed below. Please add to it. What we are looking for is both student lessons and teacher resources to teach Mass geography. Before this idea was completed, Dick Aieta tragically died. But the work of sharing ideas goes on, as he would have wanted. Send back your ideas online to the Mass.

Waltham, Massachusetts Geography Essentials of Waltham Geography The major geographic features of Waltham are the Charles River and several large hills. The river runs roughly west to east in the south part of the city. Since the dam was built just below the Moody Street bridge, the western half of the river in Waltham is navigable by boat. The largest body of water visible today, the Cambridge Reservoir, was created by the damming of a brook near the west side of Waltham. Hardy Pond, the only "great pond" in the city, is in the northern area. The highest place in Waltham is atop Prospect Hill, on a point named "Boston Rock", from which the city of Boston is visible on a clear day. Bear Hill is west and south of that point. Main Street enters from the west as Rt. 117, and leaves in the east as Rt. 20. Rt. 20, also known as Weston Street, merges in at the point where Rt. 117 ends. South Street connects at this intersection, known as Banks Square. City Hall was built near the intersection of Main Street and Moody Street, which is the main business street of Waltham. Lexington Street begins near City Hall, and continues north into Lexington. Totten Pond Road begins at Lexington, and proceeds west, and its name changes to Winter Street as it circles behind the reservoir. Trapelo road spans the entire city, starting near the northwest corner, and proceeding into Belmont on the east side. Beaver Street runs east from Lexington along the Beaver Brook, and intersects what is now Bentley College.

19. U.S. Geography In The Early Republic Massachusetts Information on towns, cities and residents. http://www.jmisc.net/US-GEO-MA.htm

United States Geography in the Early Republic - MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts Towns and Cities: Amesbury Just north of the Merrimack River , in Essex County , at the far north of Massachusetts. Amhurst In Hampshire County, about 7 miles northeast of Northhampton . Birthplace of Silas Wright , prominent member of the Albany Regency in NY from the 1820s to the 1840s. Amhurst College was founded there in 1821 and incorporated in 1825. Andover Small town around 25 miles north of Boston, in western Essex County , where a religiously conservative school was established in reaction against the liberalization of Harvard (which became a Unitarian institution early in the 19th century). Attleborough Located a few miles SE of the NE corner of Rhode Island. Birthplace of Jonathan and Virgil Maxcy Beverly In Essex County , a couple of miles north of Salem Boston It it difficult, and will take quite some time, to do justice to Boston, of course. In the early 1800s, it was the intellectual capital of the U.S. It has one of the finest harbors on the east coast. Originally, it was almost an island, connected to the mainland by "Boston neck", a strip just wide enough for one road (one of the reasons it could hold out so long in its rebellion against the English). Over the years, the neck was widened until it became wider than the "head" attached to it. Part of this filling-in process created the Back Bay. See Whitehill, Boston, A Topographical History
