1943 Map of Natick

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Sudbury River and Charles River define the hydrography of this early 1940s landscape, bordering established educational anchors such as Wellesley College, Regis College, and the Babson Institute. The map captures the suburban transition of Middlesex and Norfolk counties during a period when the Boston and Albany RR and the Boston and Maine RR provided critical commuter links to the surrounding towns. Residential growth is evident in clusters around Wellesley Hills and Auburndale, while civic life is anchored by institutions like Morse Hospital and numerous neighborhood schools including Hardy Sch and Sprague Sch. A dense network of local cemeteries, such as Linwood Cem and St Patrick Cem, offers significant detail for genealogical research, while the presence of the Worcester Turnpike signals the evolving automotive infrastructure of the era.
