1908 Map of Quinsigamond

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Wachusett Mountain towers over a landscape defined by central Massachusetts' early industrial and institutional growth. Surveyed in the late 1880s and reprinted in 1930, this study captures the extensive water management systems essential to the region, including the Holden Reservoir and Wallis Reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant state facilities of the era, such as the State Lunatic Hospital and Westboro Insane Hospital, alongside the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation. The rail network is highly developed, with the Boston and Albany RR and Boston and Maine RR connecting manufacturing hubs like Marlboro and Worcester to smaller rural depots like Hubbardston Sta and Princeton Depot. This map reflects the transition from a purely agrarian economy to a complex system of mill towns and institutional sites, all anchored by the rugged hills of Worcester County.
