About this map

The Connecticut River defines the landscape of this tri-state border region, carving through a sequence of named agricultural flats including Great Meadow, Moose Plain, and Beers Plain. The settlement of Northfield serves as a central hub, flanked by its eastern and western counterparts and the educational grounds of Mount Hermon. The topography is marked by several distinctive heights such as Crag Mtn and Stratton Mtn, while more colorful local toponyms like Satans Kingdom and Hells Kitchen suggest the character of the steeper ravines and wooded breaks.

Transport and transit history is preserved through the locations of the East Northfield Station and Mount Hermon Station, alongside the river crossing at Munns Ferry. Numerous burial grounds, including Pentecost Cem and the Barnard Hill North Cem, are distributed across the upland slopes, providing a detailed record of the area's genealogical footprint. The map also traces the New England National Scenic Trail as it winds through the First Bald Hills and toward Sky Farm.
