1970 Map of Athol

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The industrial and residential center of Athol anchors this landscape, situated along the curve of the Millers River and the Boston and Maine Road. The town's mid-century footprint is well-defined, featuring the Athol Memorial Hospital and various schools, while cemeteries like Silver Lake Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem provide vital reference points for local genealogists. To the south and east, the character of the terrain shifts into the preserved woodlands and research sites of the Harvard Forest, which includes the Harvard Forest Administration Building and the Montessori Sch. Smaller settlements such as Phillipston and Phillipston Four Corners represent the rural communities surrounding the central hub. The area is defined by its complex water system, ranging from the Thousand Acre Reservoir to the numerous smaller ponds and brooks like Riceville Brook and Beaver Bk that feed into the larger river basins.
