1970 Map of Athol

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Athol serves as the industrial and social hub of this region, anchored by the Boston and Maine Railroad and the winding course of the Millers River. This 1970 revision captures a landscape defined by significant institutional and public lands, including the sprawling Petersham State Forest and the scientific tracts of the Harvard Forest, which include the Harvard Forest Administration Building. The transition from the urban density of Athol to the rural crossroads of Phillipston and Phillipston Four Corners is marked by numerous reservoirs and small ponds, such as Lake Ellis and Riceville Pond. For the local historian, the map preserves a dense concentration of burial sites, from Silver Lake Cemetery to the remote Northwest Cemetery, and recreational landmarks like the Snow Hill Ski Area.
