1940 Map of Wachusett Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Wachusett Mountain State Reservation dominates the northeastern landscape of this Worcester County survey, where the peak of Wachusett Mountain looks over a network of early 20th-century institutions and infrastructure. The map documents significant medical and public works facilities, including the Central New England Sanatorium and the State Sanitorium near Rutland. A notable subterranean feature, the Quabbin Aqueduct, passes beneath the hills, highlighting the region's role in the regional water supply. Settlement patterns are defined by rail connections like the Boston and Maine Railroad, serving small hubs such as Princeton Sta and Hubbardston Sta. Numerous local burial grounds, such as Woodlawn Cem and Rural Glen Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogists tracking family histories in the townships of Princeton and Hubbardston before mid-century modern expansion.
