2021 Map of Ashfield

About this map

Buckland and the neighboring hills of Franklin County are defined by a network of brooks and steep ridges where the Deerfield River and South River carve through the upland landscape. This modern survey details the persistent rural structure of the region, from the cluster of Ashfield and its historic cemeteries like Ashfield Plain Cem to the outlying settlements of Spruce Corner and Baptist Corner. Local landmarks such as Mary Lyon Hill and Goodnow Hill overlook a territory dotted with family-named burial grounds and water features like Hillman Ice Pond and the Upper Reservoir. The map tracks the passage of the Mohawk Trl along the northern edge, a route that mirrors the earlier industrial and agricultural pathways of the Deerfield River valley while connecting smaller hamlets like East Charlemont and Dodge Corner.
