About this map

The Westfield River and its numerous tributaries, including Bronson Brook and Childs Brook, carve through the complex topography of Hampshire County. The landscape is defined by its deep integration with state-managed conservation lands, featuring the Daughters of the American Revolution State Forest and several wildlife management areas. These public lands surround established village centers like Goshen and Cummington, where local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Cummington Fairgrounds and the Berkshire Snow Basin Ski Area.

For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for burial grounds including Goshen Cem and Bryant Cem. Traces of small-scale aviation are visible at the Albert Farms Landing Strip and Dodds Landing Strip, while the rural road network, including Stage Road and Ireland Street, connects disparate hamlets like Bryant Four Corners and Worthington Center. This era shows a region balancing its agrarian roots with growing recreational and environmental preservation roles.
