A view of the West Brook. With its headwaters in Whately and Conway, the West Brook watershed spans 7,018 acres and flows through one of the largest tracts of unfragmented forest in Massachusetts. During the 18th and early 19th West Brook, with its steep gradient and nearly two dozen waterfalls, was considered one of the most valuable power streams for its size in Massachusetts. Early settlers built built dams at nearly every waterfall (or privilege) and small mills flourished along the watercourse. But by the late 19th century, the mills were in decline. Their demise was due to a combination of eventsthe opening of the West, the lure of factory jobs in the cities, and floods that damaged the millworks. By the turn of the century, the few remaining mills were forced to close when the City of Northampton built an 18-million gallon reservoir above their dams.

Its primary purpose is to provide the population counts that determine how seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned. Census figures also are required to draw congressional and state legislative district boundaries, to allocate federal and state funds, to formulate public policy, and to assist with planning and decision making in the private sector. This guide lists key sources of Census data covering both the latest releases from the current 2000 Census and data going back to 1790. Print and electronic sources are included.

75. Waltham, MA Geography Waltham, massachusetts geography. The major geographic features of Waltham are the Charles River and several roughly west to east in the south part of the city. http://www.waltham-community.org/geo.html

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.

Geography In the Geography Site Catalog Description Geography Courses On this Page AREA OF SPECIALIZATION Geography is often called the science of where, and geographers use their expertise to figure out where to build a hospital, a bridge, or a highway. By understanding the complicated relationship between human beings and their environment, geographers find real-world solutions to tough problems, making cities and towns better places to live, helping companies market their products, and protecting and preserving the earth's resources. Career possibilities are boundless. A land use planner works to expand a city's downtown, plan parks and open spaces, or route a new highway. A location specialist works for a mall developer, finding just the right spot to build. A mapping specialist uses the latest in computer and remote-sensing equipment to construct maps for the U.S. Department of Defense. A teacher inspires students to explore their world. What connects all of these professionals? There's a good chance they were geography majors. National recognition for geography education is on the rise, too. A recent national education initiative identified geography as one of five core curriculum subjects that Americans will be required to master throughout their elementary and secondary school careers during the next decade.
