1973 Map of Rowe

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Deerfield River carves a deep valley through the northern Berkshires on the border of Massachusetts and Vermont, anchoring a landscape shaped by both early industry and massive hydroelectric infrastructure. This era of the mid-1970s shows the complex water management systems of the Sherman Reservoir, Lower Reservoir, and the Upper Reservoir Bear Swamp, which dominate the vertical relief between Rowe and Monroe Bridge. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including Sherman Cem and Rowe Cem, while transportation history is preserved through the presence of the Boston and Maine Railroad. A notable engineering landmark is the Hoosac Tunnel, with the Hoosac Tunnel Sta situated near the riverbanks. The map also delineates the extensive public lands of the Monroe State Forest and Mohawk Trail State Forest, contrasting the industrial utility of the river with the protected wilderness of Adams Mtn and Todd Mtn.
