1946 Map of Westford

About this map

Westford serves as a central hub in this mid-1940s landscape, where industrial hamlets like Graniteville and Forge Village are closely tied to the Boston and Maine Railroad. The region is defined by a dense network of glacial ponds and hills, including Nagog Pond, Long Pond, and Millstone Hill. Settlement patterns show concentrated clusters around rail stations such as Brookside Sta and Westford Sta, while the surrounding terrain is crossed by historic routes like Great Road and Littleton Road. Notable landmarks for genealogists and local historians include Fairview Cem and the distinctive intersection at Littleton Common. The map captures the area before modern suburban expansion, preserving the layout of orchards, wetlands like Tadmuck Swamp, and local landmarks like Conscience Hill and Kissacook Hill.
