About this map

The industrial and educational landscape of Middlesex County is centered on the Hudson township and the winding Assabet River. This 1940s-era documentation captures the transition from rural crossroads like Brockway Corner and Browns Corner to the more developed centers of Stow and Bolton. Local history researchers will find a dense network of numbered school districts, such as School No 1 through School No 4, alongside institutions like the Bromfield Academy.

The presence of the Boston and Maine Railroad connecting Gleasondale Sta and the downtown hub illustrates the era's rail-dependent commerce. Water resources are prominent throughout, from the recreational grounds of Camp Resolute on Little Pond to the larger Bare Hill Pond with its named islands. Several burial grounds, including St Michaels Cem and the Old Quaker Meeting House, provide essential data for genealogists tracing family ties across this portion of Massachusetts.
