About this map

Auburn and Millbury serve as the industrial and residential anchors for this mid-1930s landscape, which is heavily defined by its complex water systems and transport corridors. The Blackstone River and Quinsigamond River cut through the eastern terrain, while the New York New Haven and Hartford RR and the Worcester & Providence Pike demonstrate the area's importance as a regional transit hub. Smaller industrial hamlets like Stoneville, Bramanville, and Pondville appear closely tied to local water resources such as the Stoneville Reservoir and Auburn Pond.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Worcester Hebrew Cem, Bnai Brith Cem, and St Roche Cem. The map provides an intricate look at the local educational infrastructure of the era, noting the Calvin Coolidge Sch and St Johns Sch. From the heights of Prospect Hill to the wetlands of Big Swamp, the survey captures a pre-war New England landscape where small-town industry and established neighborhood institutions remained deeply integrated.
