1953 Map of Monson

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Chicopee Brook carves a narrow industrial and transportation corridor through the Massachusetts hill country, following the tracks of the Central Vermont railroad. In the mid-1950s, the town of Monson serves as the primary hub of this valley, flanked by several smaller clusters including North Monson and South Monson. The landscape is defined by its steep terrain, where high points like Peaked Mtn and Mount Hitchcock overlook a network of water resources such as Monson Reservoir and the Scantic River. This survey captures the borderland character of the region, specifically where Hampden and Tolland Counties meet at the state line. Large tracts of protected land, including Brimfield State Forest and Shenipsit State Forest, contrast with the localized industry of a Quarry and the small-scale settlement at Four Corners.
