2018 Map of Maynard

About this map

Maynard and the surrounding township of Acton are defined by the convergence of the Assabet River and several glacial hills, including Faulkner Hill and Vose Hill. This modern survey illustrates how preservation lands like the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge now border established suburban corridors and industrial remnants. The landscape is dotted with several significant burial grounds, from the large Glenwood Cem to the smaller Three Cornered Cem and North Sudbury Cem. Small private aviation history is preserved at Sids Airport and Crow Island Airport, while the eastern edge of the map touches the hallowed grounds of Minute Man National Historical Park. Along the river and its many tributaries like Fort Pond Brook, the map records the enduring character of a region that balances its Revolutionary War-era roots with modern development and conservation.
