About this map

Industrial hubs and transit corridors define the landscape of northern Worcester County in the late nineteenth century. Fitchburg sits as the primary center of activity, its urban grid tightly packed along the banks of the Nashua River and shadowed by Rollstone Hill. The map captures a sophisticated rail network in its prime, showing how the Cheshire Railroad, Fitchburg Railroad, and Old Colony Railroad intersected to move goods and people through rugged Massachusetts terrain.
