About this map

Academic institutions and burgeoning suburban centers define this 1940s landscape west of Boston. The quadrangle centers on the prestigious grounds of Wellesley College and the Babson Institute, while further north, Regis College and Middlesex University mark the era's educational expansion. The Boston and Maine and other rail lines connect established towns like Natick and Wellesley, which are shown with significant residential detail. Natural features such as Lake Waban, Lake Cochituate, and the winding Charles River provide a geographical framework for the dense network of local roads including the historic Boston Post Road. Numerous family and community landmarks, including Morse Hospital and several burial grounds like North Natick Cem and Farmers Cem, offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracking the mid-century development of these Middlesex and Norfolk County communities.
