About this map

Warwick and Royalston form the heart of this landscape, where the terrain is dominated by the steep rises of Mt Grace and Little Mt Grace. The 1970s environment shown here is one of dense state forests and scattered rural settlements, tied together by a network of historic routes like Old Winchester Road and Old Royalston Road. Local life centers around small clusters such as Mayo Corners and North Orange, with the presence of Center Sch and Gale-Brooks Sch marking the community hubs of the era.

Water plays a central role in the regional economy and geography, from the Richards Mill Pond to the winding course of the Tully River. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including South Cem, Newton Cem, and Perry Cem. The map also details recreational spaces such as Camp Takodah and Wagonwheel Campground, reflecting the area's mid-century transition toward seasonal tourism and conservation.
