About this map

Industrial hamlets and riverside settlements define the character of this 1982 survey of the Blackstone Valley corridor. The Blackstone River and Mumford River serve as the primary axes for development, with centers like Whitinsville, Uxbridge, and Millville showing dense residential and institutional footprints. The influence of regional transit is clear along the Providence and Worcester RR, which parallels the waterway through the heart of Blackstone.

Away from the riverbanks, the landscape transitions into managed woodlands and family landmarks. Significant acreage is preserved within Sutton State Forest and the Upton State Forest, while local heritage is represented by the Chestnut Hill Meeting House and several parochial institutions like St Pauls Ch and St Marys Cem. The map captures the complex social geography of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border, from the established neighborhoods of Linwood and North Uxbridge to the industrial outskirts of Woonsocket.
