1956 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Middle Branch Westfield River carves a deep path through this upland landscape, where the town of Chester and its outlying hamlets are defined by the steep rises of the Berkshires. The Boston and Albany railroad follows the river's winding course, serving as the primary transportation artery for the region. To the south, the Chester Blandford State Forest occupies the higher elevations, while the hillsides are dotted with legacy family names on roads like Arthur Pease Road and Sylvester Hamilton Rd.
