About this map

The eastern edges of the Wachusett Reservoir define the northwestern corner of this 1941 survey, showing a landscape shaped by both water engineering and institutional development. The area is a nexus of major transit and civic facilities, notably featuring the Masonic Hospital and the extensive grounds of the Worcester Hospital. These large parcels sit alongside the developing residential centers of Shrewsbury and Northboro, where a dense network of local roads like Ball Hill Road and Main St connects scattered neighborhoods to the vital rail corridors of the New York New Haven and Hartford RR and the Boston and Maine RR.
