1974 Map of Heath

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Heath and its surrounding hill country in Franklin County are captured here just before the mid-1970s, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep stream valleys. The northern border follows the Vermont Massachusetts state line, where the terrain rises toward peaks like Spruce Hill and Phillips Hill. A notable industrial remnant is the Davis Mine, situated near the headwaters of Underwood Brook, while the southern edge of the map is dominated by the corridor of the Deerfield River. This river valley serves as the primary transportation artery, carrying both the Boston and Maine railroad and the famed Mohawk Trail through Charlemont. The map reveals a high concentration of conservation land, including portions of the H O Cook State Forest and Catamount State Forest, punctuated by historic burial grounds such as Christian Hill Cem and Center Cem.
