About this map

Chicopee Brook serves as the central spine of this landscape, carving a path through Monson and South Monson toward the State Line. This 2012 survey documents a region defined by its numerous hills and water bodies, from the industrial heritage implied by South Factory Village to the agricultural presence of Echo Hill Orchards. The map provides detailed placement of local infrastructure, including Hillside Elementary School and the centrally located Po.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including several burial grounds such as Main Street Cem and Butler Cem. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into Connecticut, featuring the Staffordville Reservoir and the intersection at Four Corners. The terrain is punctuated by high points like Peaked Mountain and Mount Hitchcock, while various water management features like Conant Brook Reservoir and Monson Reservoir indicate the historical importance of water power and resources in the valley.
