1969 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Blackstone River and Penn Central rail lines anchor this late-1960s industrial and rural landscape, tracing a path through the mill towns and villages of the Blackstone Valley. The map captures a moment of transition where established manufacturing centers like Woonsocket and Millville exist alongside expansive green spaces such as the Upton State Forest. This period shows the persistence of early New England social structures, evidenced by the numerous specialized institutions ranging from the historic Chestnut Hill Meeting House to the many Catholic parochial schools and cemeteries like St Pauls Cem and Precious Blood Cem in the more densely populated southern corridors.
