About this map

West Granville and East Granville sit amidst a complex network of hills and watercourses in this late 19th-century survey of Hampden County. The landscape is dominated by the West Branch of Westfield River and the Westfield Little River, which carved the valleys followed by major transportation routes. The Boston and Albany Railroad snakes through the northern gorge, serving industrial points like Woronoco and Huntington. The southern portion of the map highlights early water management for nearby urban centers, featuring the Borden Br. Res. and Westfield Reservoir. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks such as Barnes Mtn., Winchell Mtn., and Pond Brook. The presence of Ore Hill and the Filter Beds near West Parish suggests the region's historical reliance on both natural resources and the development of public utilities during this era of growth.
