2024 Map of Shrewsbury

About this map

Boylston Center and Shrewsbury anchor this survey of the Worcester hills, where historical cemeteries and modern infrastructure converge. The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the expansive Wachusett Reservoir in the northwest to the Assabet River drainage in the east. Local history is deeply rooted here, visible in sites like the Old Burial Ground Cem and Meeting House Hall. Significant topography including Mt Pisgah and Ball Hill rises above a network of secondary roads and major arteries like I-290 and the Boston Tpke. The map provides detailed placement of numerous family and municipal burial sites, such as the Johnson Family Cem and Saint Anne's Cem, which offer specific locations for genealogical research. Institutional footprints like the Grafton State Hospital and Shrewsbury High Sch show the community's development amidst a complex hydrography of ponds and brooks.
