1943 Map of Marlboro

About this map

The urban core of Marlboro and its surrounding townlands are defined by a complex intersection of industry and institutional life just before the mid-century. The landscape is anchored by massive public works, including the expansive Sudbury Reservoir and the extensive grounds of the Westborough State Hospital near Chauncy Pond. The regional transportation network is in full transition, showing the heavy rail presence of the New York New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Albany railroads alongside emerging arterial roads like the Worcester Turnpike.
