About this map

The Connecticut River and Deerfield River define this 1990 survey of Franklin County, where the industrial heritage of Turners Falls and Greenfield meets the preserved landscape of the Deerfield Valley. The map details a sophisticated transportation and education corridor, showing the Boston and Maine RR following the riverbanks while institutions like Greenfield Community College and the Stoneleigh-Burnham Sch anchor the local community.

Genealogists can trace numerous burial grounds across the townships, from the Riverside Cem near the water to the Old Albany Cem and West Deerfield Cem. The terrain is marked by significant ridges such as the Pocumtuck Range and Greenfield Mountain, providing a clear view of how the Mohawk Trail and modern interstate interchanges negotiated the steep elevation changes. Pockets of conservation land, including the South River State Forest and Montague State Forest, surround the historic village centers of Shelburne Falls and Deerfield.
