1946 Map of Colrain

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The North River and its various branches carve through this upland terrain just after the second World War, defining a landscape of narrow valleys and steep hills along the Vermont border. Small industrial and residential pockets like Griswoldville and Shattuckville line the river banks, while the East Branch North River and West Branch North River converge near Colrain. This 1946 edition highlights the historical depth of the region by marking colonial defensive positions such as the Site of Fort Morrison, the Site of Fort Lucas, and the Site of Fort Morris. The map preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, from Aunt Sophies Peak and Catamount Hills to the East Colrain Ch and various hilltop burial grounds like the Chandler Hill Cem. These details illustrate a mid-century community still deeply tied to its topographic layout and historical frontier roots.
