1950 Map of Natick

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Wellesley College and Brandeis University anchor a landscape defined by significant academic and institutional growth during the mid-century era. The Charles River and Sudbury River frame a region transitioning from its agricultural past toward post-war suburban density, particularly visible in the concentrated streets of Natick, Wellesley Hills, and Auburndale. The complex water management systems of the era are prominently displayed, including the Stony Brook Reservoir, Norumbega Reservoir, and Doublet Hill Reservoir, which served the expanding Boston metropolitan area.
