1960 Map of Worcester North

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The northern half of Worcester is shown in high detail at the start of the 1960s, a period marked by dense urban residential growth and institutional expansion. The map records a concentration of major healthcare and social facilities, including the State Hospital, Belmont Hospital, and County Sanatorium, alongside educational centers like Clark University and State Teachers College. To the north, the landscape transitions into the smaller mill-and-rail settlements of Holden and West Boylston. Evidence of the area's older industrial and social fabric is found in labels for Canada Mills, the Rural Cemetery, and the Coal Mine Cem. The geography is defined by the extensive waters of the Wachusett Reservoir in the northeast and Indian Lake near the city center, while the Boston and Maine Railroad and New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad facilitate the region's transport network.
