1968 Map of Sterling

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Stillwater River and Quinapoxet River define the landscape of this central Massachusetts region, converging near the Wachusett Reservoir Thomas Basin. The map illustrates a transitional period of infrastructure, showing the extensive Aqueduct system and multiple utility shafts, such as Shaft No 1, which supported regional water management. In the north, the Leominster State Forest covers the terrain around Justice Hill, while the village of Sterling serves as a central hub for the surrounding countryside. Genealogical data is particularly dense, with several family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds including Legge Cem and High Plain Cem. The Boston and Maine Railroad corridors provide evidence of the era's transport network, connecting local points like Sterling Junction and Oakdale to the broader New England rail system.
