1973 Map of Worcester South

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The industrial and academic landscape of Worcester dominates the northern section of this survey, where Holy Cross College and Clark University stand near established neighborhoods like Quinsigamond Village. The infrastructure of the early 1970s is clearly visible, with the Massachusetts Turnpike and Penn Central rail lines cutting through the terrain. To the south, the character of the land shifts toward the reservoirs and woods of Auburn and Millbury, anchored by water bodies such as Singletary Pond and Dark Brook Reservoir. Local genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Hope Cemetery, the Swedish Cem, and St Johns Cemetery. Cultural landmarks of the era are preserved here as well, from the Auburn Mall to a Drive-in Theater and the Windle Airport, showing the post-war suburbanization surrounding the central city.
