About this map

Plainfield serves as a central hub in this high-elevation corner of the Massachusetts Berkshires, where the Westfield River and Chickley River headwaters carve through the plateau. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named peaks and clear water bodies, including Crooked Pond, Plainfield Pond, and Hallockville Pond. Small settlements like Hallockville, West Hawley, and South Hawley are scattered along winding routes such as Hallockville Rd and W Main St.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural burial grounds like Allis Cem and Spruce Corner Cem. The map also captures several distinctive natural landmarks, most notably the Windsor Jambs and Windsor Jambs Brook in the southwest. Forested heights such as West Mtn, Deer Hill, and Hawks Mtn dominate the terrain, illustrating the persistence of these isolated hill towns into the 21st century.
