1889 Map of Granville

About this map

Blandford and Granville anchor this late 19th-century survey of the Berkshire foothills, where the landscape is defined by the steep descent of the Westfield River and its tributaries. The topography is characterized by a series of prominent peaks such as Cobble Mtn. and Mt. Tekoa, which overlook the deep valleys carved by the Westfield Little River. This era shows a network of upland villages like North Blandford and East Granville connected by winding mountain roads, prior to the major reservoir developments that would later alter these river basins.
