1893 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The Blackstone River valley in the late 19th century was a hub of industrial activity, where the river's descent powered a series of mill villages. This survey illustrates a landscape deeply integrated with the Providence and Worcester Railroad, which follows the river's path to connect manufacturing centers like Whitinsville, Uxbridge, and Millville. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises into the characteristic highlands of central Massachusetts, featuring notable geological landmarks such as Purgatory Chasm and prominent elevations like Chestnut Hill and Keith Hill.
