1895 Map of Granville

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The West Branch of Westfield River carves a deep path through the Berkshires in this late nineteenth-century survey, defining the industrial and transit corridor for the Boston and Albany Railroad. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Sweetman Mtn. and Winchell Mtn., which loom over the split settlements of East Granville and West Granville. While the river valleys support the railroad and towns like Russell, the higher plateaus are dotted with numerous small water bodies including North Meadow Pond and Cochran Pond. The map reveals a landscape of dispersed agricultural hill towns and concentrated riverside industrial sites, notably at Salmon Falls. To the south, the Massachusetts Connecticut boundary line cuts across the valley of the East Branch Farmington River, illustrating the rugged interstate borderlands during a period of steady rail expansion.
