1975 Map of Colrain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Colrain and its surrounding villages are captured in this 1975 orthophotograph, which reveals the dense forested hills and narrow river valleys of Franklin County. The imagery highlights the distinct settlement patterns concentrated along the waterways, particularly the cluster of Foundry Village and Griswoldville along the North River. Further south, Shattuckville sits near the confluence where the river meets the Deerfield River. This map provides a clear view of the rural landscape before major modern development, showing the agricultural clearings that dot the terrain between Leyden and West Leyden. The paths of the East Branch and West Branch show how the topography dictated the layout of local roads and small industrial hamlets, making it an essential resource for tracing the 20th-century footprint of these historic Massachusetts towns.
