1893 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

The Charles River winds through this late nineteenth-century landscape of eastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island, defining a region where water power and rail infrastructure drove local development. Industrial centers and small milling villages like City Mills and Unionville are shown at their peak, connected by a dense web of transportation including the Woonsocket Div. and the Franklin Branch railroad lines. To the north, the terrain is dotted with substantial hills such as Mt. Nebo and Castle Hill, while the southern reaches towards the Rhode Island border feature extensive water bodies like Whiting Pond and Shepardville Reservoir.
