1945 Map of Heath

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Davis Mine sits on the western slopes of this Franklin County landscape, a notable industrial landmark within the rural highlands of northern Massachusetts. The area's mid-century topography is defined by the West Branch North River and the numerous brooks, such as Maxwell Brook and Wilder Brook, that drain the surrounding heights. Small centers of activity like North Heath and Adamsville are connected by a network of rural routes, including the Stetson Road and the Colrain Stage Road. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial grounds, such as Center Cem and the Maple Grove Cem, alongside local institutions like the Branch Sch and North Sch. Near the southern border, the famous Mohawk Trail winds along the Deerfield River valley, passing below the peaks of Bald Mountain and Pocumtuck Mountain.
