About this map

Industrial villages and academic institutions punctuate the central Massachusetts hills in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a dense network of reservoirs including Kettle Brook Reservoir No 4 and Holden Reservoir No 1 that supplied the growing needs of Worcester. The presence of Upper Wire Village and Lower Wire Village suggests the region's enduring manufacturing roots, while institutional sites like Anna Maria College, the VA Hospital, and the Nazareth Home for Boys highlight its role as a regional center for education and care.
