1977 Map of Reading

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Ipswich River meanders through the heart of this orthophotomap, defining a landscape of suburban expansion and dense wetlands in the late 1970s. This aerial perspective, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, reveals the transition of northeastern Massachusetts towns into established residential hubs. From Reading and North Reading to the west, the suburban sprawl flows toward Peabody and Middleton, separated by the darker, wooded corridors of the river valleys.
