1975 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Plainfield and the surrounding hill country of western Massachusetts are documented here through high-altitude aerial photography. This orthophotoquad reveals the dense forest canopy and scattered rural clearings of the mid-1970s, showcasing a landscape defined by its river systems and small settlements. The Chickley River carves a winding path through the northern terrain toward West Hawley, while the Westfield River skirts the southwestern corner of the sheet. For local historians, the map provides a precise spatial record of hamlets like Hawley and Brier, as well as named intersections such as King Corner. The presence of Windsor Pond highlights the area's natural hydrology, which has long influenced the placement of roads and farmsteads in this corner of the Commonwealth.
