1895 Map of Granville

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The Westfield River and its various branches dominate this late nineteenth-century survey, cutting deep valleys through the uplands of Hampden County. The industrial and transit corridor follows the West Branch of Westfield River through Huntington, where the Boston and Albany Railroad snakes along the riverbanks past steep features like Turtle Bend Mt. and Mt. Shatterack. In the southern reaches, the landscape shifts toward the high agricultural plateaus and smaller hamlets of Granville and East Granville, while the New York New Haven and Hartford R.R. skirts the eastern edge through Southwick. Local industry is hinted at by features such as Powder Mill Brook and Ore Hill, and the presence of the Punch Bowl and Shatterack Pond reflect the diverse natural topography that defined this section of the Massachusetts-Connecticut borderlands before modern development.
