1946 Map of Westford

About this map

Forge Village and Graniteville anchor this mid-1940s landscape, illustrating the industrial and residential development concentrated along the Boston and Maine Railroad corridors. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent glacial hills, including Nashoba Hill, Millstone Hill, and Kissacook Hill, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Snake Meadow Rd and Hartford Rd. Large bodies of water such as Forge Pond, Nagog Pond, and Nabnasset Pond are prominent, while smaller features like Tadmuck Swamp and Sought for Pond offer insight into the natural drainage of the area before modern suburban expansion.
