1975 Map of Uxbridge

About this map

The Blackstone Valley industrial corridor is captured in detail through this 1975 orthophotoquad, showing the dense mill-town developments of Uxbridge and Whitinsville during the mid-1970s. The winding course of the Blackstone River and the Mumford River reveals the hydraulic foundation of these textile-manufacturing centers. While the primary settlements like East Douglas and Linwood show clear urban density, the surrounding landscape near Tasseltop and Manchaug remains a mix of forest and agricultural tracts. This aerial perspective, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, offers a clear view of the transportation networks and residential expansion that defined this part of Worcester County before late-century suburbanization shifted the character of the region.
