1940 Map of Westford

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The mill villages of Forge Village and Graniteville anchor this 1940 survey of Middlesex County, where the industrial legacy of the late 19th century meets a landscape of glacial drumlins and kettle ponds. The Boston and Maine RR winds through the heart of Westford, serving various local stations like Westford Sta and Brookside before crossing into Chelmsford. The prominence of family-named heights such as Spalding Hill, Francis Hill, and Blakes Hill reflects long-standing agricultural and residential patterns in the area. Water bodies like the large Nagog Pond and Forge Pond are central features, likely serving as both industrial resources and growing recreational sites. For those interested in local genealogy, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Fairview Cem and Westlawn Cem, alongside vanished rural stops such as Carlisle Sta and Boxboro Sta.
