About this map

Warwick sits at the center of this 1941 survey, showing a landscape defined by small mill ponds, timbered ridges, and New England hilltop settlements before mid-century modernization. The map documents a period of public works and conservation, featuring both Camp Warwick and a CCC Camp, reflecting the era's Civilian Conservation Corps activity. Steep terrain like Mt Grace is topped by a Fire Tower, overlooking a network of narrow roads such as Northfield Road and Winchester Road.

Industry and local history are marked by sites like Richards Mill Pond and a Quarry, while the social geography of the era is preserved through named clusters like Mayo Corners and Baptist Corners. Water drainage is meticulously detailed across the Worcester and Franklin County line, tracing numerous brooks including Mirey Brook and Rum Brook as they navigate the valley floors between Fall Hill and Tully Mtn.
