1939 Map of Wachusett Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Wachusett Mountain State Reservation anchors this late 1930s landscape, providing a detailed view of the terrain before mid-century development. The Boston and Maine Railroad cuts through the region, serving critical stops at Hubbardston Sta, Princeton Sta, and Rutland Sta. This era is particularly defined by the presence of large-scale public health and infrastructure projects, notably the State Sanitorium and the Central New England Sanitorium near Rutland. A hidden but vital piece of regional engineering, the Quabbin Aqueduct, is marked with specific access points at Shaft 5 and Shaft 6, tracing its path beneath the hills. The map captures a transition where traditional village life at Princeton and North Rutland exists alongside these modernizing industrial and health facilities, all set against the numerous water bodies like Asnacomet Pond and the Ware River.
