About this map

The Hudson and Bolton area, straddling the border of Worcester and Middlesex counties, is defined by a complex network of multi-use pathways and preserved wetlands. Modern transit corridors like I-495 bisect the landscape, while legacy routes are preserved as the Assabet River Rail Trl and the Mass Central/Wayside Rail Trl. These rail trails follow the historical movement of industry along the Assabet River, connecting the urban center of Hudson to the outlying settlements of Gleasondale and South Bolton.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous historic interment sites, from the colonial Old South Burial Ground to the Friends Burial Ground and Pan Burying Ground. The terrain is punctuated by significant drumlins and hills, such as Rattlesnake Hill and Vaughn Hills, overlooking a water-rich landscape that includes Bare Hill Pond and the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge. The map also captures several distinct camps and recreational hubs, including Camp Resolute, Camp Virginia, and the Minute Man Air Field.
