1953 Map of Monson

About this map

Chicopee Brook serves as the industrial and transit spine of this mid-century valley, carrying the Central Vermont railroad through the heart of Monson. The settlement pattern reflects a classic New England mill town layout, with North Monson and South Monson clustered along the water and rail corridor. Evidence of the local extraction economy remains visible at the Quarry near Flynt Mtn, while the upland terrain is defined by protected lands like Brimfield State Forest and the expansive Tupper Hill Wildlife Sanctuary.
