1958 Map of Natick

About this map

The Charles River and Sudbury River define this mid-century portrait of suburban Boston, where established educational institutions and defense facilities occupy a landscape of hills and reservoirs. Several prominent campuses are documented, including Wellesley College, Brandeis University, and the Babson Institute. The region's transport network shows a significant transition, with the Mass Turnpike and Boston-Worcester Turnpike cutting through residential areas while the tracks of the Boston and Albany and New York Central railroads still serve numerous local depots like Cherry Brook Station and Riverside Sta.
