1943 Map of Hudson

About this map

The industrial and agricultural center of Hudson is captured here as it stood in the mid-20th century, dominated by its dense street grid and the Boston and Maine Railroad. The Assabet River winds through the region, powering the historical development of settlements like Gleasondale and South Bolton. This survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its educational and spiritual roots, featuring Bromfield Academy in the north and the Old Quaker Ch to the west. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including the Friends Cem and Bellevue Cem. Beyond the town centers, the terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Rattlesnake Hill and recreational sites such as Camp Resolute on the shores of Little Pond. The map serves as a detailed record of the borderlands between Worcester and Middlesex counties.
