About this map

The town of Hudson and the winding Assabet River anchor this 1950 revision of the landscape west of Boston. The map reveals a transition between concentrated industrial centers and the surrounding agricultural townships of Bolton and Stow. The Boston and Maine Railroad serves as a primary corridor through the area, linking the mill village of Gleasondale and its Gleasondale Sta to the larger population centers.

Genealogists will find a high density of named landmarks, from schools like Bromfield Academy and Blanchard Memorial Sch to local landmarks such as the Old Quaker Ch. Water bodies like Bare Hill Pond, featuring Ministers Island and Sheep Island, suggest the area's long-standing character as a destination for recreation. Numerous burying grounds, including Bolton Pan Cem and Bellevue Cem, are precisely located across the rolling hills of the Worcester-Middlesex county line.
