About this map

Industrial centers and small mill towns define this early 1950s landscape along the Boston and Maine railroad corridor. The city of Fitchburg serves as the dominant urban hub, surrounded by a network of smaller communities like Blackburne Village and Waites Corner. The mapping captures the post-war transition of the region, where manufacturing footprints and transportation routes intersect with extensive conservation lands such as Marshall State Res and the Wachusett Mountain State Res.
