1971 Map of Royalston

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The town of Royalston and its outlying hamlets occupy a landscape of steep hills and winding brooks along the border of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. By the early 1970s, the area remained largely rural, defined by the Boston and Maine Railroad corridor following the Millers River through South Royalston. The village center of Royalston is well-preserved, featuring the Center Church, Raymond School, and Center Cemetery. To the south, the impact of mid-century water management is evident at Tully Dam, which regulates the waters of Tully Lake and Long Pond. These reservoirs, along with Tully Pond and Little Tully Pond, dominate the southwestern quadrant. Genealogists will find interest in several historic burial grounds, including the Chestnut Hill Cemetery and the Riverside Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the region's long-established family lineages and local history.
