1961 Map of Northfield

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Connecticut River bisects this tristate border region, where Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont converge at the Hinsdale and Vernon lines. In the early 1960s, the valley floor near Northfield remains defined by agricultural expanses like Great Meadow and Beers Plain, while the upland terrain to the east is dominated by the steep slopes of Brush Mountain and Northfield State Forest. This landscape is fundamentally tied to the corridor of the Central Vermont RR and Boston and Maine RR, which connect the small village centers and agricultural stations. Educational institutions form a prominent part of the local identity, notably the Northfield School and Mount Hermon School. A network of cemeteries, including West Northfield Cem and St Marys Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who settled this fertile river valley and the rugged timberlands of Warwick State Forest.
