1975 Map of Grafton

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Blackstone River corridors and the expanding residential patterns of central Massachusetts define this mid-1970s orthophotoquad. The imagery reveals the industrial and residential clusters of Wilkinsonville, Fisherville, and Farnumsville following the river's path, showing the density of these mill-town settlements before late-century redevelopment. To the north, the transition from the city of Worcester toward North Grafton is visible, centered around the southern reaches of Lake Quinsigamond. This aerial perspective, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides a rare look at land use during a period of transition, showing the exact footprint of towns like Grafton and Northbridge through actual photographic detail rather than traditional cartographic symbols, capturing the precise layout of roads and wooded tracts as they existed in 1975.
