1954 Map of Athol

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Athol sits at the confluence of the Millers River and local tributaries, serving as a concentrated industrial and transit hub during the mid-1950s. The town's grid is dense with development, bordered by the Boston and Maine RR and a network of water bodies like Silver Lake and Sportsmans Pond. Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into the managed timberlands of the Harvard Forest, where the Administration Bldg Harvard Forest stands as a focal point for academic research. This survey highlights an area dense with genealogical data, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as Doe Valley Cem, Fay Cem, and New Sherborn Cem. The surrounding hills, including Pratt Hill and Prospect Hill, are dotted with isolated settlements like Phillipston and small rural institutions such as the Phillipston No 5 Sch.
