About this map

Industrial and residential centers define this mid-century landscape where the Ten Mile River and Bungay River converge. Attleboro and North Attleboro serve as the primary hubs, linked by the New York New Haven And Hartford railroad and the burgeoning traffic along Newport Ave. The map reveals a dense network of local institutions, from the prominent La Sallette Seminary to numerous community anchors like St Johns Cem and the Washington Sch.

Beyond the urban cores, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of hills and water bodies. Significant local landmarks such as Capron Park and the Highland Country Club highlight the developed social spaces of the era, while the Hoppin Hill Reservoir and Orrs Pond suggest the vital water infrastructure supporting the growing population. The proximity to the state line is clear as the survey extends south into the Pawtucket and Darlington neighborhoods, documenting the seamless cross-border connection between Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
