1969 Map of Uxbridge

About this map

Industrial villages and water-powered history define this section of the Blackstone Valley, where the Mumford River and West River meet the Blackstone River. The landscape is dominated by textile-era infrastructure, featuring numerous mill ponds such as Whitins Pond, Lackey Pond, and Rivulet Pond. The Providence & Worcester RR serves as a central artery for the region, passing through East Douglas Station and linking the settlements of Whitinville, Linwood, and Uxbridge. This 1960s revision captures the area as modern growth began to overlay its deep industrial roots, visible in the cluster of institutions like St Camillus Hospital and the development near Plummer Corner. Away from the river valleys, the terrain rises into the Sutton State Forest and the curious geological formations of Castle Caves, while the southern border tracks the boundary with Burrillville and the Black Hut State Management Area.
