1964 Map of Attleboro

About this map

Attleboro and its industrial satellites are captured in high detail during the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by the winding Tenmile River and a dense network of early transportation routes. The map documents the city's growth, from the core downtown area housing the Sturdy Mem Hospital and Capron Park, to outlying industrial and religious centers like the LaSalette Seminary and the Fuller Memorial Sanitarium. The convergence of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the Old Colony Railroad illustrates the area's historical reliance on rail for both transit and manufacturing.
