About this map

Industrial expansion and rail connectivity characterize Norfolk County during this era, where the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. and the Midland Div. create a dense network of transit through burgeoning mill towns. The town of Franklin serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller manufacturing hamlets such as Unionville, City Mills, and Mechanicsville. These settlements are deeply integrated with the water system of the region, utilizing Shepards Brook and Mine Brook for power, while larger bodies like the Neponset Reservoir and Lake Pearl define the lower wetlands.
