1946 Map of Royalston

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Royalston and its outlying villages sit within a landscape of steep hills and winding river branches in the years immediately following World War II. The topography is defined by the three branches of the Tully River, which descend from the northern New Hampshire border past landmarks like Jacob Hill and Spirit Falls. In the south, the Boston and Maine Railroad follows the path of the Millers River through South Royalston, highlighting the vital rail corridor connecting these valley communities. Scattered throughout the townships of Royalston and Orange are small clusters of development like Fryeville and Packard Heights, while the uplands are dotted with family-named peaks such as Beryl Hill and Tully Mtn. This survey captures the rural character of northern Worcester County before modern highway expansion, preserving the location of local farmsteads such as Neale Place and the intricate network of secondary roads like Butternorth Road.
