1971 Map of Ashfield

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The northern Berkshires of Franklin County reveal a deeply dissected landscape carved by the Deerfield River and its numerous tributaries. Settled nodes like Ashfield and Buckland are joined by many historic crossroads including Dodge Corner, Baptist Corner, and Spruce Corner. In the north, the famed Mohawk Trail and the Boston and Maine railroad follow the river's winding path through the hills near East Charlemont. The map captures a high-elevation interior where small rural schools like the Academy and the Regional High Sch serve scattered communities. Significant tracts of the Hawley State Forest occupy the western uplands, while lower elevations are marked by the water of Ashfield Pond and Waubun Pond. Genealogists will find many family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as Leavitt Cem and Doane Cem, which anchor the lineage of this hill country.
