1969 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Blackstone River corridor serves as the industrial and residential spine of this landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s, crossing from Massachusetts into Rhode Island. The densely settled urban center of Woonsocket dominates the southern edge, while northern reaches transition into the preserved woodlands of the Upton State Forest. This survey captures the transition of the region's infrastructure, showing the Conrail rail lines and the Hopedale-Draper Airport alongside older water-power landmarks like Ironstone Reservoir and Rice City Pond. The map is particularly rich for genealogists, detailing numerous community burial grounds including St Pauls Cem, St Stanislaus Cem, and the Bicknell Cem. Small villages like Millville, Wheelockville, and Ironstone are clearly delineated, showing the distribution of schools and local churches that anchored these mill towns before modern suburban expansion.
