1977 Map of Norwood

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Neponset River winds through the heart of this Norfolk County landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the burgeoning suburban developments of the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad, produced by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the USGS, captures the dense residential and industrial patterns of Norwood and Dedham during a period of significant regional growth. The imagery provides a clear look at the intricate transportation networks and infrastructure connecting Westwood and Canton, while the southern reaches of Walpole and Sharon show more open spaces and woodland. Because it is an aerial-based orthophoto, it reveals the literal footprint of the era, from the runways of the local airport to the expanding highway interchanges that link these historic towns to the greater Boston area.
