1974 Map of Worcester North

About this map

The urban core of Worcester and its northern satellite communities are captured here in the mid-1970s, showcasing a dense network of institutional and industrial growth. The landscape is defined by its educational and medical anchors, from Clark University and Worcester State College to the complex of hospitals including Hahnemann Hospital and the State Hospital. The city's northern expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Greendale and Salisbury Heights, while the outskirts retain pockets of older industry and rural character in settlements like Chaffinville, Jefferson, and Canada Mills.
