1950 Map of Westford

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Stony Brook and the Boston and Maine Railroad define the industrial and residential corridors of this mid-century Middlesex County landscape. The map reveals the distinct village structure of the era, where established centers like Forge Village and Graniteville sit alongside newer developments at Nabnasset. The prevalence of granite quarrying and mill work is suggested by the rail stops and the dense cluster of family-named hills, such as Millstone Hill and Kissacook Hill. Genealogists will find significant detail in the multiple burial grounds, including the Russian Cem, Westlawn Cem, and Fairview Cem. Moving south toward Littleton Common and North Acton, the terrain softens into a network of large glacial bodies like Nagog Pond and Long Pond, reflecting a region balancing its industrial roots with growing suburban and recreational character.
