2021 Map of Ashburnham

About this map

Ashburnham and the surrounding Worcester County highlands are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and industrial history. The landscape is dotted with early settlements like Converseville, Lane Village, and Blackburn Village, many of which developed around water-driven sites such as Factory Village Pond. This survey shows the region's topographical transition across the state line into New Hampshire, where the Wapack Range rises prominently with peaks like Pratt Mtn and Mt Watatic. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Fairbanks Cem and Saint Denis Cem, alongside traces of former transit corridors like the Old North Ashburnham Station. From the shores of Lake Monomonac to the wooded slopes of Little Watatic Mtn, the map documents a community where residential expansion and traditional rural land use intersect amidst the headwaters of the Millers River.
