About this map

Wachusett Mt. and its neighbor Little Wachusett dominate the northern horizon of this late nineteenth-century topography of the Massachusetts interior. The landscape is a complex network of industrial-era water management and rail connectivity, centered around the urban expansion of Worcester. In the south, the State Lunatic Hospital stands as a significant landmark near the city center, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with specialized hamlets like Wire Village and Quinapoxet Village.
