About this map

Maynard and the surrounding Middlesex County villages are captured here during a period of postwar stability, characterized by a dense network of water-powered industrial sites and established rail corridors. The Assabet River winds through the heart of the region, passing the Maynard Country Club and the Glenwood area. To the east, the Concord Reformatory stands near the junction of the Boston and Maine Railroad and the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad.

The landscape is dotted with family-named topographic features like Faulkner Hill and Wright Hill, alongside numerous cranberry operations including Cranberry Bogs near the U S Military Reservation. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for Woodlawn Cem, Mt Hope Cem, and St Bridgets Cem, while the southern reaches show the tranquil waters of White Pond and Willis Pond before the onset of modern suburban sprawl.
