About this map

The Blackstone River and its numerous tributaries and reservoirs drive the character of the landscape south of Worcester just after World War II. The map reveals a region transitioning through industrial and infrastructure developments, most notably featuring the Massachusetts Turnpike under construction as it cuts across the center of the sheet. Urban expansion from Worcester is evident in the dense street grids of Quinsigamond and the sprawling facilities of the Worcester Sewage Disposal Plant.
