1953 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Blackstone River and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad define the industrial corridor of this mid-century landscape on the Massachusetts and Rhode Island border. At the southern edge, the dense urban street grid of Woonsocket transitions into the riverfront settlements of Blackstone, Waterford, and Millville. Notable local landmarks include the Chestnut Hill Meeting House, the Draper Airfield near South Milford, and several religious sites such as St Michaels Ch and the Friends Ch. The map reveals a region defined by its water power and transport, from the smaller Mumford River and West River valleys to the scattered mill ponds and swamps like Cedar Swamp. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the townships, including Gaskill Cem, Bicknell Cem, and Precious Blood Cem.
