1953 Map of Leicester

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Spencer and Leicester serve as the primary hubs in this central Massachusetts landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ponds and glacial hills. The 1953 revision shows a region balancing early industrial settlements like Rochdale and North Oxford with significant institutional and conservation lands. Notable sites include the Clara Barton Home near the Oxford town line and the expansive Spencer State Forest wrapping around Stiles Reservoir. The influence of early transportation is evident in the path of the Boston and Albany RR and historical routes like the Boston and Albany Turnpike. Genealogists may find value in the various burial grounds such as Gore Cem and Bay Path Cem, while several institutional landmarks like the Water Tanks Masonic Home and the Charlton Home Farm reflect the social history of the era.
