1947 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The hill towns of Western Massachusetts are defined by steep elevations and upland brooks in this 1944 survey, later published in 1947. The terrain transitions between several town boundaries, including Savoy, Hawley, Windsor, and Plainfield. Settlement is concentrated at local crossroads like Kings Corner and South Hawley, while the village of Plainfield sits near the summit of Warner Hill. The landscape is dotted with several small reservoirs and natural water bodies, notably Hallockville Pond, Plainfield Pond, and Windsor Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several upland cemeteries, including Hilltop Cem and Bush Cem, and a network of district schoolhouses like School No 7 and the Brier Sch. The road network, featuring routes such as West Hawley Road and Stetson Road, reflects the area's agricultural and rural character before modern post-war development.
