1944 Map of Uxbridge

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Mumford River and Blackstone River define the industrial and topographical character of this southern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island border region during the early 1940s. Centered on the textile and manufacturing centers of Whitinsville and Uxbridge, the landscape reveals a dense network of reservoirs and ponds—including Whitins Pond, Lackey Pond, and Reservoir No. 2—which historically powered the mills of the Blackstone Valley. The Blackstone Canal and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR track the valley floor, illustrating the vital transportation corridors that linked these mill towns to the larger New England economy. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain rises into the hills of Douglas and South Sutton, where numerous family and community burial grounds like Evergreen Cem and Boerum Cem are scattered among rural farmsteads. Distinctive landmarks such as the Halfway House and the Whitinsville Country Club reflect the established social and commercial life of the era.
