1889 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1889

About this map

The Blackstone River valley dominates this late nineteenth-century landscape, serving as a corridor for heavy industry and transportation. The Providence and Worcester Rail Road traces the river's winding path through manufacturing centers like Whitinsville and Uxbridge, while the New York and New England Railroad cuts an east-west route through Millville and Douglas. These rail networks were the lifeblood of the valley, connecting textile mills and regional hubs during a period of significant industrial expansion.
