1950 Map of Westford

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

St Catherine Cem and the Russian Cem sit near the industrial heart of Forge Village and Graniteville, where the Boston and Maine Railroad winds through the hills. This mid-century survey illustrates a Massachusetts landscape transitioning from its 19th-century mill-town roots toward modern suburbanization. The sheet is defined by its numerous glacial ponds and marshes, including Nagog Pond and the expansive Tadmuck Swamp. Distinctive family-named summits like Proctor Hill and Nashoba Hill rise above a dense network of roads such as Great Road and Littleton Road. The map also captures several rail-dependent hamlets, including Westford Sta and Carlisle Sta, reflecting a era when rail still anchored local commerce and movement between the towns of Westford and Littleton.
