2015 Map of Worcester South

About this map

The southern reaches of Worcester are dominated by a complex network of industrial-era settlements and topographic high points. This landscape is defined by the Blackstone River corridor, where the Providence & Worcester RR follows the valley floor past established neighborhoods like Quinsigamond Village and Bramanville. The topography is a series of named drumlins and elevations, including Pakachoag Hill, the site of the Coll of the Holy Cross, and the prominent Federal Hill to the south. Numerous reservoirs and ponds, such as Singletary Pond and Stoneville Pond, indicate a history of water management for local industry. The map captures a high density of civic and religious sites, from the expansive Hope Cem and Saint Johns Cem to smaller family and community burial grounds like Dwinell Cem and the Sutton Town Cem near the village of Sutton.
