About this map

The Connecticut River and Millers River define the industrial and natural geography of this Franklin County corridor. The French King Bridge serves as a prominent landmark over the water, connecting the rugged terrain around French King Rock to the village of Erving. The map details a landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys, including Northfield Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, which are traversed by the New England National Scenic Trail.

Settlement patterns follow the riverbanks and mountain gaps, from the established village of Millers Falls to the smaller hamlets of Farley and Stoneville. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as Holton Cem and Dry Hill Cem, while the southern reaches show the rural development of Wendell and North Leverett. The presence of many named brooks, including Fourmile Brook and Wickett Brook, highlights the complex watershed that once powered local mills and early industry.
