2012 Map of Worcester South

About this map

South Worcester and its surrounding communities are anchored by the prominent campus of the College of the Holy Cross on College Hill. This 2012 topographic record documents the dense urban and suburban fabric of southern Worcester and Auburn, where historic cemeteries like Hope Cem and Notre Dame Cem reflect the long-standing community roots. The landscape is defined by the industrial legacy of the Blackstone River and Middle River, which shaped the development of neighborhoods from Quinsigamond Village to Bramanville. Further south, the terrain transitions into more agricultural and wooded parcels, featuring Stowe Farm Orchard and Hawk Hill Orchards near West Millbury. The presence of the Oxford Airport and the complex interchange of the B & A RR underscore the area's role as a regional transportation hub during the early 21st century.
