1975 Map of Goshen

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Goshen and the surrounding Hampshire County hills are captured here in a 1975 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial imagery to reveal the density of the Massachusetts forest and the precise clearing of its settlements. The small village of Lithia and the community of Swift River sit along the winding watercourse of the Swift River, which cuts through the northwest corner of the map. To the south, the settlement of Chesterfield occupies the higher ground above the Westfield River. This type of imagery provides an unfiltered view of the 1970s landscape, showing how the roads and property lines followed the natural contours of the land. Large water bodies like the Highland Lakes and Hammond Pond stand out as dark, sharp contrasts against the textured canopy of the Berkshire foothills, marking significant local landmarks for those studying the area's geography and residential development.
