About this map

Fitchburg Railroad and Cheshire Railroad tracks converge in this industrial heartland, illustrating the dense transportation network that powered north-central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire in the 1930s. The map captures the significant elevation changes between the Nashua River valley and high points like Watatic Mountain and New Ipswich Mtn. Industrial centers such as Fitchburg, Leominster, and Gardner are shown in high detail, revealing the layout of neighborhoods and factory districts before the era of major highway expansion.
