About this map

The Blackstone River and Mumford River valleys define the industrial and residential corridors of this region during the late 1960s. Dense settlement patterns are visible in Whitinsville and Uxbridge, where mill-pond networks like Whitins Pond and Linwood Pond reflect the area’s manufacturing history. The transit infrastructure of the Providence and Worcester RR connects these hubs, with the East Douglas Station serving as a key point in the neighboring town of Douglas.

Away from the riverbanks, the landscape transitions into the wooded preserves of Sutton State Forest and the Black Hut State Management Area at the Rhode Island border. Local heritage is preserved in numerous family and parish grounds, including St Marys Cem and the South Douglas Cem. Unique local place names such as the Bad Lands and Hundred Acre Lot suggest historical land use patterns and topographical characteristcs specific to this part of Worcester County.
