1969 Map of Blackstone

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Blackstone River corridor serves as the industrial and civic spine of this region during the late 1960s, documenting the dense urban development of Woonsocket and its surrounding mill towns. The map captures the intricate transit network where Conrail lines parallel the river, connecting historic settlements like Millville and Waterford. While the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the industrial character of Rhode Island's northern border, the northern half transitions into a landscape of managed woods and small ponds. Significant local landmarks include the Hopedale-Draper Airport and the sprawling Upton State Forest, which provide a stark contrast to the concentrated street grids of the valley. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family and parish grounds, such as the Chestnut Hill Meeting House Cem and Swandale Cem, alongside numerous schools and parochial institutions including St Charles Sch.
