1969 Map of Palmer

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Palmer serves as a critical rail junction in the late 1960s, where the Chicopee River, Ware River, Swift River, and Quaboag River converge. The industrial and transit heritage of the region is evident in the dense network of the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Central Vermont Railroad, which intersect near the village of Three Rivers. While the Massachusetts Turnpike cuts across the landscape, older local connections like Allen Rd and Old Palmer Road maintain the traditional grid between settlements like Thorndike and Bondsville. Local institutions are well-represented, from the State Hospital and Wing Memorial Hospital to the State Fish Hatchery. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds including St Anns Cem and Oak Knoll Cem, alongside landmarks such as Mt Dumplin and the Drive-in Theater at Whipples.
