About this map

The boundary between Worcester and Middlesex counties serves as a central spine for this 1930s landscape, where the Nashua River and Squannacook River frame a region of active industry and institutional presence. Settlement is concentrated along the Boston and Maine Railroad, which connects the industrial hub of Leominster and its northern counterpart North Leominster to Shirley and West Groton. The map reveals a highly structured environment, featuring the Industrial School and a Rifle Range in the south, alongside established community centers like Shirley Center.
