About this map

Ashfield and Buckland occupy a high-relief landscape defined by the winding South River and its numerous tributaries. Settled within these upland valleys are distinct hamlets such as Baptist Corner, South Ashfield, and Buckland Four Corners, each connected by a network of winding local roads like Baptist Corner Rd and Hog Hollow Rd. The terrain is punctuated by significant peaks including Mary Lyon Hill, Mt Owen, and Seventy Six Hill, reflecting the region's complex topography.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites recorded across the township, from the centrally located Ashfield Plain Cem to the outlying Leavitt Cem and Doane Cem. The northern boundary is shaped by the Deerfield River, while the southern reaches feature the Ashfield Pond and Lower Reservoir, suggesting a historic reliance on these water bodies for local industry and settlement placement. The map also records early thoroughfares like the Mohawk Trl, a historic corridor traversing the northern slopes.
