1939 Map of Worcester North

About this map

Worcester's northern reaches and the surrounding townships of Holden and West Boylston are captured here just before the Second World War. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Wachusett Reservoir to the northeast and the industrial and academic density of the city to the south. This era shows a community heavily invested in public health and education, evidenced by the numerous specialized institutions like the Worcester Co Tuberculosis Hospital, Belmont Hospital, and the sprawling City Farm.
