1935 Map of Fitchburg

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The industrial hub of Fitchburg and the surrounding borderlands of Massachusetts and New Hampshire reveal a dense network of nineteenth-century infrastructure. This mid-1930s landscape is defined by its rail connectivity, centered on the Fitchburg Railroad and the Old Colony Railroad, which linked local mills and factories to broader regional markets. The terrain transitions from the concentrated urban centers of Fitchburg and Gardner to the high ridges of Watatic Mountain and New Ipswich Mtn in the north.
