2018 Map of Orange

About this map

The Millers River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine for this part of the Massachusetts interior, connecting Orange to West Orange and the outlying Wendell Depot. This modern topographic survey highlights a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Fall Hill in the north to the cluster of peaks around North Pond Ridge and The Bears Den. While the northern section is anchored by the developed center and the Orange Municipal Airport, the southern reaches transition into a network of ponds and wetlands, including North Spectacle Pond and South Spectacle Pond near South Athol. Notable for local historians, the map preserves the locations of several smaller hamlets and rural gathering points such as Morse Village, North New Salem, and the historic Branch Cemetery, showing how the rugged terrain influenced the placement of roads like the Mohawk Trail.
