About this map

The town of Goshen serves as a central hub in this Hampshire County landscape, situated at the junction of routes leading toward the Westfield River and the eastern highlands. The area is defined by its numerous small water bodies and meadows, including Lower Highland Lake and the Sears Meadow Reservoir, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Swift River and its tributaries. To the south, the settlement of Chesterfield sits amidst a network of rural roads such as Stage Rd and Bissell Rd, surrounded by distinctive terrain features like Bagg Ledges and Fisk Meadow.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of family-named landmarks and old burying grounds, from the North Cem near Bear Mtn to the centrally located Goshen Cem. The map captures the quiet character of the region's upland ridges, including West Ridge and Walnut Hill, while highlighting specific points of interest such as the 4-H facility at Camp Howe and the rocky outcrop of Chapel Ledge in the northeast.
