USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Charles River defines the landscape of the western Boston suburbs in the mid-1950s, winding past the established villages of Waltham, Newton, and Needham. This era of suburban density is marked by a concentration of educational and religious institutions, including Lasell Jr College, Sacred Heart Sch, and St Johns Seminary. The map illustrates the varied character of Newton, from the commercial centers of Newtonville and Auburndale to the residential expansion at Oak Hill Park.
