1946 Map of Sterling

About this map

Sterling and its surrounding hill towns are captured here in a period of transition as the mid-century infrastructure of Central Massachusetts takes shape. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic engineering of the Stillwater River and Quinapoxet River basins, featuring complex water management sites like Lynde Basins, Fitch Basin, and the Thomas Basin near Oakdale. These waters supported the growing population centers in Princeton and West Boylston, which are linked by an extensive network of secondary roads such as Governor Road and Princeton Road.
