1983 Map of Worcester North

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Worcester serves as the dense urban anchor of this central Massachusetts landscape during the early 1980s, showcasing a region defined by its prominent educational institutions and complex water management systems. The map captures a high concentration of higher education, including Anna Maria College, Assumption College, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Beyond the city limits, the terrain rises into the hills of Paxton and Holden, where a series of catchments like Holden Reservoir No. 1 and Kettle Brook Reservoir No. 4 feed the municipal supply. The northeastern corner is dominated by the Wachusett Reservoir, reflecting the historical engineering required to support the growing population. Rail infrastructure remains a vital element of the landscape, with the Boston and Maine and Providence and Worcester lines threading through the valley, while the Worcester Municipal Airport occupies the high ground on the western periphery.
