About this map

Reading and its surrounding townships in the early 1950s showcase a transition from agricultural land to burgeoning suburban communities along the Boston and Maine railroad. The southern portion is anchored by Lake Quannapowitt, while the Ipswich River meanders through the central landscape, passing the Sagamore Springs Golf Club and the extensive Cedar Swamp. Significant military and civic presence is visible at Camp Curtis Guild and a dedicated Military Police Camp near the northern border.
