1895 Map of Chesterfield

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The steep topography of the Berkshire foothills dominates this late 19th-century survey, where the Westfield River and its various branches dictate the settlement patterns. Villages like West Chesterfield and Knightville are situated along these vital waterways, which powered the local economy. At the eastern edge of Chesterfield, the presence of Risbee Mill signifies the industrial reliance on the Dead Branch, while the southwestern corner shows the critical transportation corridor of the Boston and Albany railroad following the river valley near Chester.
