About this map

The industrial and institutional character of mid-century Middlesex County is centered on Maynard, where the Assabet River winds through a landscape defined by manufacturing and state facilities. This mid-1960s perspective captures the busy rail corridor of the Boston and Maine and New York New Haven and Hartford railroads serving towns like West Acton and South Acton. Notable landmarks include the sprawling Concord Reformatory near West Concord and the specialized U S Military Reservation Natick Laboratories.

Suburban growth is evident in the numerous schools, such as Acton-Boxborough Regional High Sch and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High Sch, placed among glacial terrain features like Annursnack Hill and Vose Hill. To the south, the landscape transitions into conservation and resource management areas, including the State Fish and Game Area and the Marlborough State Forest, while local heritage is preserved in grounds like Glenwood Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery.
