1895 Map of Granville

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Blandford and its surrounding hamlets occupy the high ground of the Berkshires during this late-nineteenth-century survey of the Massachusetts-Connecticut border. The landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and the transportation corridors that follow them, most notably the Boston and Albany Railroad tracing the West Branch of Westfield River through Huntington and Russell. To the south, the New York New Haven and Hartford R. R. Northampton Div. skirts the Congamond Ponds, serving the agrarian community of Southwick. Local industry and resource extraction are evident in place names like Ore Hill near West Granville, while the numerous peaks such as Cobble Mtn. and Mt. Shatterack illustrate the challenging topography. The settlement pattern shows a network of small villages like East Granville and Sodom connected by mountain roads before modern highway development reshaped the region.
