1977 Map of Orange

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Millers River corridor serves as the primary industrial and transport artery for the northern section of this survey, where the Boston and Maine Railroad connects the town of Orange with the small rail-side hamlet at Wendell Depot. This mid-1970s landscape reveals a mix of dense forest reserves and early-century industrial infrastructure, anchored by the vast Quabbin Reservoir watershed to the south. The topographic detail preserves several legacy settlements and rural centers, including Morse Village and North New Salem, while also documenting the growth of municipal aviation at the Orange Municipal Airport. Family history researchers can locate specific local landmarks such as Jones Cem and the Village Ch, alongside natural features like the distinctive The Bears Den rock formation and the elevated ridges of North Pond Ridge.
