1951 Map of Reading

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Camp Curtis Guild and a dedicated Military Police Camp dominate the central landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the area's significance for regional defense and training. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, notably the expansive Cedar Swamp and Lake Quannapowitt, which serve as natural boundaries between the developing suburban centers of Reading, Wakefield, and North Reading. The Ipswich River meanders across the upper portion of the map, while the Boston and Maine Railroad provides the primary industrial and transit spine for these North Shore communities.
