2012 Map of Ashfield

About this map

The Deerfield River forms the northern boundary of this western Massachusetts landscape, where the settlements of Buckland and Ashfield anchor a network of rural roads and upland streams. The terrain is defined by numerous peaks and ridges, including Mary Lyon Hill, Snow Mountain, and Seventy Six Hill, which overlook a series of small, dispersed communities. Smaller hamlets like Baptist Corner, Spruce Corner, and Beldingville illustrate the historic settlement pattern of the region. Genealogists and local historians can trace several burial sites throughout the township, including the Ashfield Plain Cem, Hill Cem, and Leavitt Cem. Water resources are prominent throughout, with the S River and Clesson Brook winding through the valleys, supported by the Upper Reservoir and Hillman Ice Pond.
