1948 Map of Worcester South

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The industrial corridor of the Blackstone River anchors this 1948 survey, showing the dense settlement of South Worcester and the expanding infrastructure of southern Worcester County. The map captures a moment of transition as the New York New Haven and Hartford RR continues to serve established communities like Millbury and Auburn Sta, while newer developments like the Mass Turnpike and Windle Airport emerge on the landscape. This era is marked by a concentration of institutional and religious sites, including Holy Cross College and a significant cluster of burial grounds such as St Johns Cemetery, Hope Cemetery, and Bnai Brith Cem. The southern half of the sheet reveals a more varied hydraulic landscape, with major water bodies like Singletary Pond and Ramshorn Pond interspersed among numerous family-named hills and specialized sites like the Worcester Sewage Disposal Plant.
