2021 Map of Northfield

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this tri-state borderland, where Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont meet. The landscape is defined by the educational and religious history of Northfield and Mount Hermon, including the Dwight and Emma Moody Gravesite and several established burial grounds such as South Parish Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. The river's influence is evident in the numerous named meadows and plains like Pauchaug Meadow and Beers Plain, as well as the infrastructure that connects these communities, including the Schell Bridge and the historical site of Munns Ferry. High ground surrounds the valley, from Louisiana Mtn in the north to Stratton Mtn and South Mtn in the south. The distribution of small settlements like West Northfield and East Northfield Station reflects a long-standing pattern of river-valley development and rail-oriented transportation routes.
