1964 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Charles River and Mine Brook define the interconnected landscape of Norfolk County as it appeared during a period of suburban expansion. Centered on the town of Franklin, this survey captures the area's mid-century character, from the academic grounds of Dean Jr College to the industrial presence of Conrail rail lines. The map reveals a transition from traditional village centers like Unionville and North Bellingham to newer residential developments such as Country View Estates and Scott Hill Acres. Significant public lands, including the sprawling Franklin State Forest, contrast with the dense grid of Woonsocket in the southwest corner. Local landmarks like the Naval Training Center and numerous religious sites, including St Marys Abbey and St Josephs Ch, provide essential points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the social and institutional fabric of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island borderlands.
