1919 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

The Charles River and the NY NH & H RR define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Norfolk County region shortly after the First World War. This tactical survey, updated by the Corps of Engineers, reveals a dense network of small mill towns and crossroads settlements clustered around water power and rail connections. From the textile-producing hub at Franklin to the rural expanses of Sherborn and Dover, the map captures the transition from a nineteenth-century village economy to a more integrated industrial corridor.
