1953 Map of Grafton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Blackstone River valley dominates this mid-century landscape, tracing a corridor of industrial villages and water-powered history. Settlements like Fisherville, Saundersville, and Farnumsville cluster along the riverbanks, where numerous impoundments such as Fisherville Pond and Rockdale Pond provided power for earlier mill operations. The transportation network is defined by the New Haven and Hartford and Providence and Worcester railroads, which parallel the river's path, connecting these manufacturing hubs to larger markets.
