1948 Map of Goshen

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The hills of Goshen and Chesterfield dominate this mid-century landscape, defined by a complex network of brooks and small ponds draining toward the Westfield River and the North Branch Swift River. This post-war survey illustrates the area just as the Berkshire Trail was becoming a vital automotive artery through Western Massachusetts. The map reveals a mix of recreational and historic land use, from the Daughters of the American Revolution State Forest and its Highland Lakes to the youth facilities at Camp Howe. Local genealogists will find the locations of Goshen Cem and The Mount Cem useful for tracing early family lineages in this Hampshire County township. Small settlements like Lithia and the seasonal retreat of Mountain Rest appear along the Stage Road, marking the quiet transition from old hill-town farming to a modern mountain-corridor economy.
