1950 Map of Hudson

About this map

The Assabet River winds through this mid-century landscape, anchoring the industrial and residential core of Hudson where the Boston and Maine railroad line intersects the town center. The map reveals a dense network of civic and educational institutions, from the Broad Street Sch to the prestigious Bromfield Academy further north in Harvard. This era captures a balance between the growing suburban footprint of Marlborough and the sprawling orchards and woodlands of Bolton and Stow.
