2021 Map of Marlborough

About this map

Marlborough serves as the focal point for this region where the industrial history of Middlesex and Worcester counties meets the protected waters of the Sudbury River system. The landscape is defined by its significant water infrastructure, from the Fort Meadow Reservoir in the north to the Millham Reservoir and Chauncy Lake in the west, reflecting the era's focus on resource management. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data in the numerous burial sites, including the Old Burial Ground, Old Common Cem, and the Southborough Rural Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like Marlborough Junction and the Assabet River Rail Trl, trace the transition from a traditional manufacturing hub to a suburban landscape. The topography is marked by distinct summits such as Sligo Hill and Mt-Vickery, which overlook a network of modern transit routes and historical paths like the Mwra: Wachusett Aqueduct Trl.
