1971 Map of Royalston

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

West Royalston and the central village of Royalston occupy a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and hydroelectric potential along the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border. The water system is dominated by the East Branch Tully River and the Tully Dam, which regulates Tully Lake. This 1971 revision of earlier surveys illustrates a transition toward conservation and forest management, with large tracts dedicated to the Royalston State Forest and Orange State Forest. Geologic and industrial features are scattered throughout, from the Gravel Pit near Beaver Brook to the dramatic cascades of Spirit Falls and Doane Falls. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the concentrated settlement patterns of South Royalston and Fryeville, where the Boston and Maine railroad tracks follow the course of the Millers River. Genealogy researchers will find several well-marked burial sites, including Center Cem and Riverside Cem.
