1946 Map of Gardner
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The manufacturing center of Gardner is depicted during the mid-1940s, a period when the "Chair City" remained a bustling hub of industry and transport. The city's growth is anchored by the Boston and Maine RR, which snakes through the landscape to serve various industrial and civic sites, including the extensive grounds of the State Hospital and Heywood Memorial Hospital. The surrounding townships of Westminster and Ashburnham show a denser concentration of family-named hills like Barber Hill and Bean Porridge Hill, interspersed with countless ponds and reservoirs that supported the region's earlier mill economy.
