1946 Map of Norwood

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Neponset River corridor defines the industrial and geographic character of this mid-century landscape, winding through Fowl Meadow and connecting several historic mill and rail centers. The presence of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad lines anchors the development of hubs like Canton Junction, East Walpole, and Readville. The map captures a period of transition, where major infrastructure like the Circumferential Highway and Norwood Airfield appears alongside established local institutions such as the Norfolk County Agricultural School and the Sharon Sanatorium. From the heights of Moose Hill to the wetlands of the Blue Hills Reservation, the map meticulously documents the intersection of expanding transportation networks with the area's numerous ponds and local landmarks, including the Knollwood Cemetery and Satans Kingdom.
