1960 Map of Rowe

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Deerfield River carves a deep, winding path through the Berkshire highlands, serving as the central artery for both industry and transport in this 1960 revision. The massive engineering feat of the Hoosac Tunnel is evident where the Boston and Maine RR pierces the mountainside near Zoar, a critical link in the rail corridor. To the north, the industrial character of Monroe Bridge is defined by its proximity to the Sherman Reservoir and its Power Plant, highlighting the era's reliance on hydroelectric power. Higher elevations are dominated by managed timberlands and recreational spaces, including the Monroe State Forest and Mohawk Trail State Forest. Small settlements like Rowe and Drury are connected by steep mountain roads, while several historic burying grounds such as West Cem and Sherman Cem provide essential data points for local family historians.
