1977 Map of Bernardston

About this map

Fall River carves a central path through this landscape near the Massachusetts and Vermont border, where the Boston and Maine Railroad follows the valley floor toward North Bernardston. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Wildcat Mtn and West Mtn, which frame the settled corridor of Bernardston. Local genealogy and land use are evidenced by several burial grounds, including Beaver Meadow Cem and East Hill Cem, and the presence of Cushman Park and the Northfield State Forest. To the south, water management is visible at the Greenfield Reservoir and its associated Filtration Plant. The transition from rural hilly terrain to structured settlement at Interchange 28 illustrates the evolution of regional infrastructure as it appeared in the late 1970s.
