About this map

Blandford and North Blandford occupy the high ground of the Berkshires in this recent record of western Massachusetts. The landscape is defined by its deep reservoir systems and the watershed of the West Branch Westfield River, which flows through the village of Huntington in the northeast. Large water bodies like Cobble Mountain Reservoir and Borden Brook Reservoir dominate the southern portion of the sheet, illustrating the region's role in the metropolitan water supply.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Warfield Cem near Pudding Hill and the North Blandford Cem. Local geography reveals unique topographical features such as The Volcanic Crater and Sunset Rock Sunset Hill. The map also traces the Hampshire and Hampden county line as it cuts through the wooded hills and brooks that characterize this rural upland.
