About this map

Chesterfield and Goshen serve as the primary hubs in this highland landscape of Hampshire County. The villages are connected by a network of historic roads, including S Main St and S Chesterfield Rd, which follow the natural contours of the undulating terrain. To the west, the Westfield River and the N Br Swift River carve through the topography near settlements like West Chesterfield and Swift River, illustrating the historical importance of water power and valley corridors for local transit.

Evidence of early community life is found at North Cem and Goshen Cem, while the mid-century recreational character of the area is represented by Camp Holy Cross and Camp Howe. The map details a varied physical geography, from the heights of Bear Mountain and Mollison Hill to significant water features like Sears Meadow Reservoir and Hammond Pond. Researchers can trace old property boundaries through the many named meadows, such as Crocket Meadow and Fisk Meadow, which reflect the region's agricultural past.
