1939 Map of Worcester North

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Worcester and its northern suburbs are captured here in a period of significant mid-century growth, centering on the urban density of Worcester and the expanding academic footprint of Assumption College and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The landscape is dominated by the massive Wachusett Reservoir to the northeast and Lake Quinsigamond to the southeast, illustrating how water resources and recreation areas defined the city’s margins. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which threads through industrial and residential clusters like Greendale and Chaffinville.
