About this map

Industrial and residential development defines this section of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island border, centered on the high-density grid of Attleboro. The landscape is heavily influenced by the winding course of the Ten Mile River and the Bungay River, which feed a series of engineered water bodies including Manchester Pond and Orrs Pond. These waterways historically powered the region's jewelry and textile industries, leading to the establishment of surrounding villages like Dodgeville, Hebronville, and Attleboro Falls.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from the large Mount Hope Cem to the North Purchase Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant theme, with the modern highway system cutting through older settlement patterns. Notable landmarks such as the Falls Pond Seaplane Base near North Attleboro and the protected lands of the Ten Mile River Reservation provide a window into the varied recreational and industrial uses of the local terrain during this era.
