1950 Map of Clinton

About this map

Wachusett Reservoir dominates the southern landscape, its northern waters reaching toward the industrial heart of Clinton. The town's late-industrial era infrastructure is prominent, including the Nashua River corridor and a dense network of ponds like Coachlace Pond and South Meadow Pond that supported local manufacturing. To the north, the academic grounds of Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster and the State Industrial School establish the institutional character of the Lancaster area. The presence of the Fort Devens Military Reservation along the northern edge and the complex rail intersections of the Boston and Maine RR and Central Vermont RR reflect the region's importance as a mid-century transportation and military hub. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Oakhill Cem and St Johns Cem, offer significant details for genealogical research across the central Worcester County townships.
