About this map

Bernardston serves as the central hub of this northern Massachusetts landscape, where the Fall River valley carves through a corridor of significant peaks and ridges. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Wildcat Mountain, East Mountain, and Bald Mountain to the east, while the western side is marked by Daniels Peak and Frizzell Hill. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, featuring several small clusters of activity including North Bernardston and Hales Crossing.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of family-named landmarks and multiple burial grounds such as Old Cem, Riverside Cem, and the remote Baker Cem. The map also highlights critical water infrastructure for the area, including the Greenfield Reservoir and Greenfield Reservoir - Lower Glen along Glen Brook, as well as numerous smaller bodies like Newell Pond and Weatherhead Hollow Pond near the northern border.
