Forests play a key role in filtering the waters of the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts. The reservoir provides water to Boston and is home to submerged towns and nesting bald eagles but NOT endangered timber rattlesnakes. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15460... #Quabbin 🐍

Town of Dana

The town was disincorporated as part of the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir, but the majority of the land is still above water.  Houses were moved or razed, but cellar holes remained.

The town of Dana was incorporated in 1801, and disincorporated on April 28th, 1938.

The photographs marking notable structures are quite sun faded, but still very interesting!

Every once in a while I like do to some #photogrammetry when something catches my eye. While at the #Quabbin reservoir I took a #video for this purpose, and the resulting #3d model came out quite good.

A big old tree stands on the corner of Dana common.  The town was disincorporated in the 1930s to make way for the flooding of the Swift River Valley to create the Quabbin Reservoir.

Quabbin reservoir supplies the drinking water for Boston and its surroundings, over 60 miles to the east.  On this day in late February it is completely frozen over, a vast sheet of white that fills the bottom half of the photo.  In the center is one of former mountains of the Swift River Valley, it is now an island in a vast artificial lake.

I visited the ghost town of #Dana, #Massachusetts near the #Quabbin reservoir and took some #photos of the #winter scenery. There was #ice everywhere which made the #hike slippery, but beautiful.

We had a nice hike along a path at the #Quabbin Reservoir in Western #Massachusetts. The abandoned town of Dana was the highlight of the walk.
