1956 Map of Wachusett Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Wachusett Mountain dominates the northeastern corner of this mid-century landscape, anchoring the Wachusett Mtn State Reservation. The map captures a transition in public health and infrastructure, notably featuring the Central New England Sanatorium and Rutland State Sanatorium near the southern border in Rutland. This area was a critical node for water and transport, evidenced by the subterranean Quabbin Aqueduct passing through Hubbardston and the active presence of the Boston and Maine Railroad serving depots at Hubbardston Sta and Princeton Sta. Numerous reservoirs and ponds, including Mare Meadow Reservoir and Asnacomet Pond, highlight the region's importance to the regional water supply. Small settlements like North Rutland and Brooks are depicted alongside several family and community burial grounds, such as Woodlawn Cem and Rural Glen Cem, providing essential details for genealogists.
