ORCESTER is a city of hills and valleys. Hills
little and big rise in all direct ions over the
Two Million Dollars
more than seven miles of north and south
.. dimension and the nearly seven miles of east
and west. Between them lie valleys,-some broad. some
narrow .
The hills grow higher as they rang e from south to
north and from east to west, so that. averag ing heights
above the sea level, a plane is formed that uptilts sharply
northward and westward.
From the east the ascent is from the water level of Lake
Quinsigarnond, 356 feet above the sea, the lowest point
in Worcester , to the 1,020 feet of the hilltop that lies on
the Paxton border, south of the Worcester-Paxton state
Th e Largest N..ational Ban~ in
road. which is the highest point in Worcester. From the
south the land rises from 412 feet at the Sewage Purifica­
Massa chus etts outside of Boston

tion Works at Quinsigarnond to the lofty summit of
Winter Hill on the edge of Holden, 980 feet in the air.
Thus the extreme variation of elevation north and south
is more than 550 feet, and that from east to west is more
than 650 feet.
The tilt of the land plane of Worcester is the more
highly emphasized because the upward slope extends well
beyond the city's borders. On the west it terminates two
miles beyond the Paxton line at the summit of the ridge
of Mt. Asnebumskit, 1,407 feet, the highest point between
Mt. Wachusett and Long Island Sound, and, south of
Wachusett. between the Connecticut River and the
Atlantic Ocean. From Asnebumskit the high land extends
around to the northern border of Worcester. into the hill
masses which stretch eastward from Pine Hill in Holden,
1.140 feet above the sea.
Worcester people who go to the White Mountains to
seek the benefits of loftier altitudes are more apt to make
their summer residence lower down rather than higher up .
Excepting in the very heart of the mountains the eleva­
tions of most of the resorts of the mountain and lake
country of New Hampshire are less than those of the
Heart of the Commonwealth especially those of the better
residential neighborhoods. Making the towns about
( 4 ]
the city the basis of comparison. the result is still less
favorable to the Granite State.
For example, North Conway is 521 feet above the sea,
which is 40 feet lower than the crest of Chestnut Street.
Jackson, on the very edge of the Presidential Range, is
759 feet, and Plymouth, on the Pemigewasset, is 483 feet,
almost exactly level with City Hall. North Woodstock,
higher up the Pemigewasset, at the entrance to Franconia
Notch, is 739 feet. Lake Winnepesaukee is 500 feet. It
will easily be seen that with the city's own lofty hills, and
with suburbs like Paxton, 1, 130 feet, and Rutland, 1,200
feet. and with summits like Mt. Asnebumskit, 1,407 feet,
and Mt. Wachusett, 2,108 feet. all easily accessible and
not far beyond the borders, Worcester people, excepting
to procure change of scene, need never seek summer resi­
dence elsewhere.
Such a variation of height has Worcester, in many
cases between points situated close together, as to afford
an interesting study of comparisons. The list of city
elevations here given, furnished by the office of the City
Engineer, provides the basis upon which can be reckoned
very closely the height above the sea of practically any
spot in the city, and the relative height of that spot as
compared with that of any other spot. In using the table
(S]
 it is well to bear in mind that the elevations given are above
sea level, and that perhaps the most convenient basic level
ALTITUDES OF WORCESTER

for practical comparisons is that of City Hall, 481 feet. ABOVE SEA LEVEL
