About this map

Industrial villages and river-driven settlements define the landscape of south-central Massachusetts during the late nineteenth century. The confluence of the Swift River, Ware River Branch, and Chicopee River provides the hydraulic power for manufacturing hubs like Thorndike, Three Rivers, and Bondsville. A dense network of transportation infrastructure converges here, including the Boston And Albany Railroad and the Central Vermont R.R., which facilitated the movement of goods from local operations such as Ellis Mills and the Granite Quarry near Monson.
