2018 Map of Ashby

About this map

The hills of northern Worcester County and southern Hillsborough County define this landscape, where the town of Ashby serves as a central hub. From the southern reaches of Fitchburg to the New Hampshire settlements of New Ipswich and Mason, the map reveals a pattern of historic development following the river valleys and mountain gaps. The Souhegan River and Willard Brook cut through a series of named peaks including Blood Hill, Jewell Hill, and Watatic Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burying grounds such as Glenwood Cem and Prospect Hill Cem. Significant landmarks like High Bridge and the Mason Airfield appear alongside natural features like The Whirlpool and Wright Ponds, illustrating the long-standing integration of small-scale industry and community life within the upland terrain of the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border.
