2012 Map of Fitchburg

About this map

Fitchburg and Leominster anchor this densely developed corridor in northern Worcester County, where industrial history meets a landscape of significant reservoirs and glacial hills. The Nashua River winds through the urban center of Fitchburg, passing institutional landmarks like Fitchburg State College and the large burial grounds of Saint Joseph Cem and Forest Hill Cem. To the west, the terrain rises toward Wachusett and the landmark Redemption Rock, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the extensive Monoosnoc Hills and a complex system of water management including Notown Reservoir and Haynes Reservoir. The transition from the busy commercial atmosphere of Mid-City Searstown to the rural north at Marshall Farm illustrates the varied character of this regional hub in the early 21st century.
