About this map

The Blackstone River and its industrial corridor dominate the landscape of central Massachusetts in this early 1980s record. The valley is home to a string of historic mill settlements, including Farnumsville, Fisherville, Saundersville, and Wilkinsonville, reflecting the region's long textile manufacturing heritage. To the east, the urban center of Milford is shown in detail, flanked by the residential growth of Hopedale and the older Magomiscock area.

Transport networks are represented by the massive Mass Turnpike and the tracks of the Boston and Albany Railroad, illustrating the modernization of the corridor. Away from the river, the terrain rises into the Rocky Woods Range and preserved lands like Purgatory Chasm State Park and Upton State Forest. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds, such as the Indian Cem and St Marys Cemetery, alongside dozens of community landmarks from the Courthouse to St Patricks Ch.
