1935 Map of Winchendon

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The industrial and rail-oriented landscape of the New Hampshire Massachusetts border is defined by the convergence of several major railroad lines in the 1930s. The Fitchburg Railroad and the Boston and Albany Railroad dominate the corridors through Winchendon and Baldwinville, illustrating the era's reliance on rail transport for both manufacturing centers and the timber industry. Numerous small settlements like Hydeville, Waterville, and Pequoig Station appear alongside significant water bodies such as Lake Monomonac and Sip Pond. The topography of the Monadnock region is evident in the cluster of elevations including Tully Mtn and Mt Pleasant, while local history is preserved in the location of School No 1, the Rand Cem, and several named hills that likely represent early family farmsteads and rural neighborhoods.
