About this map

Industrial villages and hilltop farms characterize this mid-century landscape along the Blackstone River. The river powers a series of connected mill settlements, from Saundersville and Fisherville down to Northbridge, where substantial infrastructure like Fisherville Pond and Rockdale Pond supported local manufacturing. Along the northern edge, the Grafton State Hospital occupies a sprawling campus near North Grafton, while the presence of the Grafton Airport and the Boston and Albany RR reflect the era's evolving transportation network.
