1970 Map of Natick

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Wellesley College, Brandeis University, and Regis College anchor this detailed view of the western suburbs as they appeared in 1970. The landscape is a complex mix of academic institutions, residential expansion, and significant utility infrastructure, including the visible paths of the Cochituate Aqueduct and Sudbury Aqueduct cutting across the terrain. Large-scale public and private land use is evident at the Natick Laboratories (U S Army) and the Mass Nat Guard Supply Depot, while the riverine character of the area is defined by the winding Sudbury River and Charles River. The expansion of the Mass Pike and the active lines of the Penn Central railroad highlight the transportation networks that fueled the growth of Natick, Wellesley, and Wayland during the late twentieth century.
