1952 Map of Westford

About this map

Nipmuck State Forest and Natchaug State Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Tolland and Windham counties in the early 1950s. The region is defined by its upland terrain, featuring numerous family-named peaks such as Stickney Hill, Snow Hill, and Lead Mine Hill, interspersed with small settlements like Westford and Union. Water resources are abundant, ranging from the Natchaug River to smaller impoundments like Lake Chaffee and Bissonnette Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several legacy landmarks, including the Westford Hill Ch and several small burial sites like the Swamp Burying Ground and Moose Meadow Cem. The presence of the Boston Turnpike highlights the area's role as a transit corridor, even as rural life centered around community nodes like the Rock Meadow Sch and the Ashford Sch.
