1953 Map of Leicester

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The industrial and rural character of Worcester County is captured during the mid-century expansion of the American highway system. The newly added Massachusetts Turnpike cuts a bold path through Charlton and Oxford, signaling a shift in transportation patterns away from the older Boston and Albany RR line that serves Spencer and Cherry Valley. This 1953 revision shows a landscape dotted with textile mill history, evident in the numerous mill ponds like Rochdale Ponds and Burncoat Pond that once powered local industry.
