1946 Map of Royalston

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Royalston and its outlying villages sit within a landscape of prominent highlands and narrow stream valleys just after the Second World War. The area is defined by the steep relief of Tully Mtn and Packard Heights, with the local economy and settlement pattern closely tied to the water power of the Millers River and its tributaries. In the southern portion of the map, the Boston and Maine railroad tracks follow the river's path, serving the industrial hamlet of South Royalston. Northward, the village of Fryeville and the small waters of Little Pond and Long Pond illustrate a dispersed rural network connected by old roads like Stockwell Road and Butterworth Road. The map also captures the interstate boundary where Massachusetts meets New Hampshire, showing the proximity of Laurel Lake and Sportsman Pond to the northern border of the township.
