About this map

The hills of Worcester County define this mid-decade landscape, where the Wachusett Reservoir and Northborough Reservoir anchor a network of protected waterways and community centers. Historically significant landmarks such as Meeting House Hall and the Old Burial Ground serve as focal points for the area's development. The map details the suburban and residential growth in Shrewsbury, Northborough, and Boylston Center, illustrating how modern infrastructure has integrated with older terrain features like Rawson Hill and Bartlett Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through numerous dedicated spaces including Mountain View Cemetery, Hillcrest Cemetery, and the Pleasant Street Cemetery. This record captures the region's character through its many water bodies, from the small Eaton Pond and Smith Pond to the larger Flint Pond and Jordan Pond, showing the balance of residential expansion alongside these established natural features.
