1940 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Franklin and Bellingham anchor this 1940 survey of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island borderlands, where the Charles River winds through a landscape of drumlins and mill ponds. The industrial character of the era is evident in the rail lines of the New York New Haven and Hartford and the cluster of institutions such as Dean Academy and the local Infirmary. To the south, the map captures the transition into Woonsocket and the proximity of the Woonsocket Airport.
