1950 Map of Hudson

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Assabet River winds through this central Massachusetts landscape, defining the industrial and social development of Hudson and Stow at mid-century. The river's path is closely followed by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which includes the Gleasondale Sta, a critical point for the small textile and mill settlements like Gleasondale. Education and community life are anchored by landmarks such as the Bromfield Academy and the Emerson Sch, while numerous burying grounds like St Michaels Cem and the Old Quaker Cem offer significant data for family historians. The terrain is marked by prominent drumlins and hills, including Gospel Hill and Rattlesnake Hill, which separate the agricultural fields of Bolton from the growing residential and commercial centers. Local recreation is evident at the Stow Country Club and Bare Hill Pond, illustrating the post-war shift toward leisure and suburban expansion in Middlesex and Worcester counties.
