The map
Grafton lies just southeast of Worcester, in the rolling country of central Massachusetts. Like many New England towns, it is not a single dense centre but a set of villages spread across a wide area. The historic town common sits on higher ground, with churches and older houses around it, while other villages grew along the Blackstone and Quinsigamond rivers below.
Mills once operated in several of these river villages, powered by the water that runs through the valley. Today the town mixes quiet residential streets, farmland and woodland. North Grafton is home to the veterinary school of Tufts University, whose campus occupies a large tract of open land on the north side of town.
A Grafton map poster shows the pattern of New England settlement very clearly. Roads curve between villages, ponds and streams fill the gaps, and the common sits like a small open square at the centre. In fine monochrome lines, the composition feels relaxed and organic, a portrait of a town shaped by rivers and hills rather than a grid.
The historic common sits on a rise at the centre of town, a small green space framed by older buildings and meeting roads.
Villages developed along the Blackstone and Quinsigamond rivers, where mills once used the water, and their clusters of streets follow the valleys.
Country roads loop between villages, ponds and woodland, drawing irregular lines that give the map its unmistakable New England character.

Why Grafton
Grafton appeals to families who settled there for its quiet streets and open land, and to graduates of the veterinary school. A map of the town and its villages is a warm but restrained keepsake.
