1950 Map of Heath

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Heath and its surrounding hill country in Franklin County are defined by a network of upland roads and small rural settlements during the mid-twentieth century. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Pocumtuck Mountain and Stone Mountain, with the West Branch North River carving through the eastern landscape near Adamsville. This survey reveals the distribution of early civic life, from the North Sch and Branch Sch to several scattered burying grounds, including Maple Grove Cem and Center Cem. A notable industrial landmark is the Davis Mine located in the western hills of Rowe, suggesting the area's history of mineral extraction. Much of the northeast corner is occupied by the Colrain State Forest, where the landscape transitions from worked farmland and family-named roads like Stetson Road and Burrington Road into managed timberland. The map captures a moment before modern consolidation, where isolated schoolhouses and local mills still anchored these mountain communities.
