1936 Map of Norwood

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Neponset River corridor defines the industrial and natural geography of Norfolk County in the mid-1930s, winding through extensive marshlands like Fowl Meadow and the Neponset River Reservation. This survey captures the complex rail infrastructure of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which supported bustling centers at Norwood and Dedham. Beyond the main village grids, the landscape is dotted with specialized institutions and landmarks, including the Norfolk County Agricultural Sch and the Sharon Sanatorium. Local industry is evidenced by water-powered sites such as Trowel Shop Pond and Saw Mill Pd. Cultural and recreational life is visible through the numerous country clubs and the distinctively named Satans Kingdom terrain. The map provides a detailed view of residential expansion in areas like Readville Manor and Walpole Heights just before the mid-century suburban boom.
