60 NATURAL HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF GROTON, MASS. 



ROADS. 



Baddacook Pond Road — a continuation of the Martin's 

 Pond Road to the neighborhood of the pond. 



Break Neck — the short strip of road from the East Pep- 

 perell Road to Common Street, south of the soapstone quarry. 



Chicopee Row, or Road — running north for three miles 

 from the Cemetery. This district is known as Chicopee, a 

 name given long ago. 



Farmers' Row — applied to the road on the height of 

 land west of the village. It begins at the west end of Pleasant 

 Street and runs in a southerly direction for two miles, passing 

 by the Groton School. It has been so called since the eight- 

 eenth century, according to the testimony of my own family 

 who have lived there for many years. 



Great Road — one of the principal thoroughfares between 

 Boston and parts of New Hampshire and Vermont. The sec- 

 tion of the road through the village is known as Main Street. 



Hillside Road — the highway along the southern slope 

 of the Indian Hills. 



Love Lane — the highway from the Lowell road, near the 

 First Parish Meeting-house, to the Great Road near Cady 

 Pond. 



Martin's Pond Road — the highway from the site of the 

 first meeting-house to the neighborhood of the pond, where 

 it becomes the Baddacook Pond Road. 



Reedy Meadow Road — from the Nashua Road to Chico- 

 pee Row, immediately south of Reedy Meadow. 



Squash Path — through the woods from the East Pep- 

 perell road to the Nashua road — a short distance beyond 

 Cold Spring Brook. Perhaps the name is an abbreviation of 

 musquash.
