2024 Map of Chester

About this map

The town of Chester and the surrounding river valleys of Windsor County are defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Middle Branch and South Branch Williams River, which converge near the village center. This contemporary landscape retains the character of its early industrial and agricultural foundations, visible in the cluster of small settlements like Baileys Mills and Spoonerville that follow the winding paths of the Williams River. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Hawks Mtn and Old Shincracken, which channel development into narrow corridors like Duttonville Gulf. For genealogists and local historians, the abundance of well-preserved burial grounds, including Brookside Cem and Baltimore Cem, provides a clear spatial record of the area's family lineages. The map also highlights modern infrastructure integrated into the traditional landscape, such as the Hartness State Airport situated near Kendricks Corner.
