USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Worcester and the town of Holden are revealed in this 1948 revision, showing a mid-century landscape where institutional growth meets suburban expansion. The city’s northern core is dominated by sprawling educational and medical campuses, including Assumption College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and several specialized healthcare facilities like the Worcester State Hospital. The transition from the dense urban grid to the hills is marked by landmarks such as the Rural Cem and Green Hill Park.
