1973 Map of Worcester South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Holy Cross College and Clark University anchor the northern landscape of this region during the 1970s, a period of established institutional presence and suburban expansion south of Worcester. The map reveals a dense network of local-history landmarks, particularly concentrated burial grounds like St Johns Cemetery, Hope Cemetery, and the Notre Dame Cemetery near Curtis Pond. This area is characterized by a complex hydraulic landscape where Kettle Brook feeds into numerous industrial reservoirs and natural bodies such as Singletary Pond and the Stoneville Reservoir. The path of the Massachusetts Turnpike and the Penn Central rail lines illustrate the transportation infrastructure connecting Auburn and Millbury to the urban core. Further south, the terrain transitions into the more open spaces of Sutton and the Merrill Pond State Reservation, where the Oxford Airport and family-named landmarks like Potter Hill and Grass Hill mark the rural-suburban fringe.
