Editing Millis, Massachusetts (section)

==Geography==
There are many areas of town-administered land, which helps to protect the environment and limit development. In addition, Millis has several wells and is home to various large farms.

The [[Charles River]] runs through Millis and the town has other smaller streams and brooks; most notably Bogastow Brook. Bogastow Brook, named after the Indian tribe formerly inhabiting the area, rises in East Holliston and runs through Millis, emptying in Millis' South End Pond.

Millis is also home to the Great Black Swamp. This swamp, covering hundreds of acres, is a very important characteristic of Millis. This swamp geographically divides Millis from its neighboring town [[Medway, Massachusetts|Medway]], and is a significant factor in the separation of the two towns in 1885.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|12.3|sqmi|km2}}. Of this, {{convert|12.2|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} (0.90%) is water.
