1894 Map of Barre

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The industrial and agricultural villages of central Worcester County are captured here in a 19th-century survey by W.H. Lovell and W.D. Johnson. The Ware River valley serves as a primary corridor for both the Boston and Albany Railroad and the Central Massachusetts Railroad, which intersect near Barre Plains. This rail network supported numerous mill settlements like Gilbertville, Smithville, and Old Furnace, illustrating the region's late-1800s manufacturing economy before the shifting industrial landscape of the next century.
