About this map

Worcester serves as the focal point of this survey, showcasing an expansive educational and civic landscape at the turn of the 2020s. The map highlights the city's dense academic corridor, featuring Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester State University, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School Worcester Campus. Urban development is framed by the I-190 and I-290 corridors, which cut through older neighborhoods such as Greendale, Burncoat, and Beaver Brook.

North of the city center, the terrain transitions into the suburban and semi-rural reaches of Holden and West Boylston. Historical industrial and residential pockets like Canada Mills, Chaffinville, and Unionville are visible along the Quinapoxet River and the edges of the Wachusett Reservoir. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the Old Burying Ground and Rural Cem and Crematory, while the B & M RR line provides a look at the region's enduring rail infrastructure.
