2018 Map of Chester

About this map

Chester and North Chester sit at the confluence of the Middle Branch Williams River and S Br Williams River, serving as the southern anchor for a landscape of scattered hills and valley settlements. To the north, the Black River winds past the Hartness State Airport, while landmarks like the Downers Covered Bridge reflect the enduring infrastructure of Windsor County. This area is defined by its numerous small hamlets, including Perkinsville, Baltimore, Gassetts, and Spoonerville, many of which grew around the river systems and early mountain roads. The terrain is marked by significant rises such as Hawks Mtn and Old Shincracker, with local history preserved in a dense network of family and community graveyards like Brookside Cem and the Baileys Mills Cem. A notable ecological feature, the North Springfield Bog, lies just south of North Springfield, providing a contrast to the high ridges of Mt Ephraim and Mt Flamstead.
