2021 Map of Fitchburg

About this map

Fitchburg State University sits at the heart of an urban landscape defined by the North Nashua River, which carves through the industrial and residential corridors of Fitchburg and Leominster. This 2021 survey illustrates a mature New England cityscape where densely settled neighborhoods like South Fitchburg and West Leominster contrast with the rugged, reservoir-dotted elevations to the west. Significant local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Saint Bernards Cem and the West Street Cem, alongside landmarks such as Redemption Rock. The map reveals the intricate water management system that sustained the region's growth, featuring the Falulah Reservoir, Notown Reservoir, and Morse Reservoir. Transport infrastructure is prominently displayed, from the Wachusett Station rail connection to the Fitchburg Municipal Airport, showing how the valley's geography continues to dictate its modern layout.
