About this map

Industrial nodes and railroad junctions define this northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire landscape at the end of the 19th century. Fitchburg serves as the primary hub, where the Fitchburg Railroad and the Old Colony Railroad Fitchburg Branch converge near the Nashua River. This transportation network supported a dense series of mill towns and villages, including Leominster, Gardner, and Ashburnham. The intricate topography is marked by several significant peaks, such as Watatic Mountain and Barrett Mountain, which overlook numerous reservoirs and ponds that provided critical water power for local industry.
