About this map

The Rockwell Draper Mill Complex in Hopedale serves as a reminder of the industrial legacy along the Mill River. This area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the large Whitehall Reservoir in the north near Woodville to the smaller Louisa Lake and Milford Pond that buffer the urban center of Milford. The landscape is punctuated by numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Peppercorn Hill, Silver Hill, and the Rocky Woods Range.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites recorded here, such as Saint Marys Cem and the North Purchase Street Cem in Milford, alongside the Old First Cem near Upton. The map details the transition from the structured street grids of Hopkinton and Hayden Row to the more dispersed settlements of West Upton and North Milford, showing how residential expansion has integrated with the natural geography of the Charles River headwaters.
