1939 Map of Worcester South

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The industrial and academic landscape of Worcester and its southern suburbs comes into focus during the late 1930s, anchored by the hilltop campus of Holy Cross College. The region is defined by a dense network of water systems, from the Blackstone River to massive industrial reservoirs like the Stoneville Reservoir and Leesville Pond. Transportation corridors of the New York New Haven and Hartford RR and the Boston and Albany RR carve through the valley, serving established mill settlements such as Jamesville, Stoneville, and Bramanville. The transition toward mid-century aviation is evident with both Auburn Airport and Windle Airport appearing on the landscape. Local civic life is well-documented through named schools like the Julia Bancroft Sch and the Calvin Coolidge Sch, alongside extensive burial grounds including Hope Cemetery and St Johns Cemetery.
