1971 Map of Royalston

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Tully River and its accompanying wetlands dominate this northern Worcester County landscape, creating a distinct north-south corridor of water and forest. Centered on the village of Royalston, the area is characterized by scattered upland settlements like West Royalston and Packard Heights connected by a network of rural roads including the Old Turnpike Road. The map documents the localized concentration of civic life at the village center, where the Raymond Sch and Center Cem are situated, contrasted with the industrial and transit corridor to the south where the Boston and Maine railroad follows the path of the Millers River through South Royalston. Elevation changes across the terrain are punctuated by landmarks such as Tully Mtn and Frye Hill, while the rugged hydrology of the region is evident in the presence of Donne Falls and Spirit Falls along the river's descent toward the Athol border.
