About this map

The Mumford River carves through the industrial and residential heart of this Massachusetts-Rhode Island borderlands, anchoring a corridor of mill settlements like Whitinsville and Linwood. By the late 1960s, the landscape shows a dense network of institutional and community landmarks, from the St Camillus Hospital to the Northbridge High Sch. The town of Douglas and its neighbor East Douglas are central to the map, showing the growth of suburban neighborhoods alongside established local icons like the Douglas Center Sch and several prominent cemeteries including Evergreen Cem and St Denis Cem.

Transitioning from the valley floor, the terrain rises toward the Sutton State Forest and the heights of Bald Hill. This survey highlights the region's diverse water resources, including the Lee Reservoir and the Black Pond near the Black Hut State Management Area. Along the eastern edge, the Providence and Worcester RR follows the Blackstone River valley, a vital transportation artery connecting these manufacturing centers to the larger Atlantic economy.
