1892 Map of Webster

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The French River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this late 19th-century landscape, anchoring the bustling manufacturing centers of Webster, Oxford, and Auburn. The map captures a moment when New England's water-powered mill tradition was integrated with an expanding rail network, including the Boston and Albany R.R. and the Norwich and Worcester R.R.. Numerous reservoirs and ponds, such as Slaters Reservoir and South Charlton Reservoir, were engineered to manage water flow for downstream industry.
