About this map

Franklin and the surrounding Norfolk County townships are mapped here in the late nineteenth century, showing a landscape defined by industrial villages and a dense web of rail lines. The Charles River meanders through the central terrain, powering localized industry at spots like City Mills and Rockville. The map captures the transition of the region into a manufacturing and transport hub, with the Woonsocket Division and Franklin Branch railroads connecting numerous small stations and mill hamlets.
