About this map

Fitchburg and Leominster dominate this Worcester County landscape in the mid-1950s, revealing an industrial and institutional core shaped by the Whitman River and Nashua River valleys. The urban centers are densely packed with landmarks like the Fitchburg State Teachers College and Burbank Hospital, while the surrounding terrain is defined by steep heights such as Rollstone Hill and North Monoosnoc Hill. This era captures the rail-dependent infrastructure of the region, featuring junctions of the Boston and Maine RR and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR.
