1959 Map of North Adams

Glacial topography defines the rural sections, where a chain of interconnected water bodies including First Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake, and Fourth Lake transition into the marshy reaches of Pleasant Lake. The map reveals a settled agricultural community punctuated by country schools like the Stone Sch and several pioneer burying grounds, including North Lawn Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists studying the families of Adams and Jefferson townships.
