1953 Map of Grafton

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Industrial villages and mill ponds follow the winding course of the Blackstone River through central Massachusetts during the mid-20th century. This survey reveals a landscape transitioning from traditional river-based industry to modern infrastructure, marked by the addition of the Massachusetts Turnpike across the northern half of the quadrangle. The Blackstone corridor is densely packed with manufacturing centers like Fisherville, Saundersville, and Farnumsville, where the New York New Haven and Hartford RR mirrors the water's path to serve local mills.
