About this map

Hudson and its surrounding orchard lands define the center of this survey, where the Assabet River winds through a landscape of historic cemeteries and glacial hills. The township shows a blend of early settlement patterns and modern transit, marked by the presence of numerous family-named hills like Potash Hill, Sawyer Hill, and Gospel Hill. To the north, Bare Hill Pond serves as a prominent landmark near Harvard Town Beach, surrounded by islands such as Ministers Island and Spectacle Island.

Agricultural heritage is evident in the many orchards, including Berlin Orchards and Honey Pot Hill Orchards, which dot the terrain between the Boston & Maine RR line and the highway corridors. Researchers will find the locations of local landmarks like Gleasondale Station, the Box Mill, and Minute Man Air Field. The map also preserves the positions of numerous community burial grounds, from the Friends Cem in the west to the Old North Cem in Boxboro.
