1966 Map of Westford

About this map

Graniteville and Forge Village serve as industrial and residential anchors along the Boston and Maine Railroad, which cuts a path through this part of Middlesex County. The landscape is a dense network of water and topography, where Stony Brook and Nagog Pond sit alongside numerous drumlins like Millstone Hill and Prospect Hill. Educational and social hubs are clearly marked, including the historic Westford Academy and the Nashoba Club near Littleton Common. The presence of several gravel pits and a Quarry suggests the importance of local mineral extraction to the regional economy during the mid-twentieth century. Settlement patterns follow the winding routes of Concord Road and Littleton Road, connecting established village centers with newer residential developments. Local genealogists will find value in the detailed locations of burial grounds such as Fairview Cem and Russian Cem, providing a window into the community's ancestral footprint.
