1895 Map of Granville

About this map

The Westfield Little River carves a path through the Berkshires in this late nineteenth-century study of the Massachusetts-Connecticut borderlands. This region, defined by its steep terrain and river valleys, shows a transition from agricultural villages like West Granville and East Granville to the burgeoning industrial and rail corridor along the Boston and Albany Railroad. The map documents numerous family-named peaks and local landmarks, including Winchell Mtn. and the curiously named Bad Luck Mtn. near the state boundary.
