1941 Map of Paxton

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Paxton and its neighboring townships in Worcester County appear here as a landscape defined by its vital water infrastructure and early 20th-century institutional grounds. The map detail highlights a series of reservoirs, including Reservoir No 4 and Asnebumskit Pond, which served the region's growing population centers. Institutional history is prominent at Rutland Heights, where the State Sanitorium and a large Veterans Hospital occupy the high ground near Barrack Hill. Local industrial roots are visible in the names of Upper Wire Village and Lower Wire Village in the south, while the Boston and Albany RR (Abandoned) line traces the evolution of transportation through Rutland. Families can trace ancestral lands through localized landmarks like Tafts Corner and the quiet Quaker Cem, capturing the character of these Central Massachusetts communities just before the mid-century.
