1893 Map of Fitchburg
USGS Topo · Published 1899About this map
Fitchburg and its surrounding hill towns emerge as a critical industrial and transit hub in the late nineteenth century, defined by a dense web of rail lines and high-elevation reservoirs. The landscape is characterized by the complex intersections of the Cheshire Railroad, the Fitchburg R.R., and the Old Colony Railroad, which linked manufacturing centers like Leominster and Gardner to the larger New England economy. Small mill settlements and industrial hamlets such as Blackburn Village and Whitmanville are scattered along the steep gradients of the Nashua River and its tributaries.
