1990 Map of Orange

About this map

The Millers River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation backbone of this North Quabbin region during the 1990s, connecting the population center of Orange with outlying settlements like Erving and Farley. The river valley is shared by the Boston and Maine RR and the Mohawk Trail, illustrating a historical reliance on the narrow, carved lowlands for east-west movement through the hilly Franklin County terrain. To the south, the landscape is defined by the massive Quabbin Reservoir and its protected watersheds, including the New Salem State Forest. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds such as Mount Hope Cem and Holton Cem, alongside established landmarks like the Orange Municipal Airport and Mahar High Sch. This map documents a high density of public lands, where the wooded uplands of Erving State Forest and Wendell State Forest hem in the riverine villages.
