1894 Map of Framingham

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Framingham Center and South Framingham serve as a major rail crossroads in this late 19th-century survey, where the Boston and Albany Railroad intersects with the Old Colony Railroad. The landscape is a dense network of industrial and institutional markers, from the American Powder Co. in Maynard to the State Prison near the Concord River. Cultural landmarks like the Mass. State Muster Grounds and the quiet shores of Lake Walden appear alongside a complex water system including Heard Pond, Baldwin Pond, and the Sudbury River. This era shows the region's transition from agricultural hubs like Sudbury Center and Acton Center into a connected suburban and industrial corridor, linked by various spurs such as the Saxonville Branch and the Massachusetts Central Railroad.
