1975 Map of Shrewsbury

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Wachusett Reservoir anchors the northern landscape of this orthophotoquad, which captures the Worcester County suburbs during a period of significant mid-1970s expansion. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct look at the residential development patterns and road networks connecting Shrewsbury to surrounding villages like Boylston Center and Northborough. The sharp contrast between the dense neighborhoods of Fairlawn and the wooded corridors along the Assabet River reveals the varied land use of the era. To the south, the clear outline of Lake Quinsigamond borders the edge of the urbanized area, while outlying clusters such as South Berlin and Woodside retain a more rural character amidst the growing infrastructure of central Massachusetts.
