About this map

The urban and suburban landscape of Worcester and its northern neighbors, Holden and West Boylston, reflects the deep-seated institutional and industrial growth of central Massachusetts in the mid-1970s. This survey highlights major educational hubs like the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, and Worcester State College, alongside massive public works and medical facilities including the State Hospital and Belmont Hospital. The area is geographically defined by its complex water systems, from the sprawling Wachusett Reservoir in the northeast to the recreational stretches of Lake Quinsigamond.
