About this map

Monroe Bridge and the village of Rowe anchor this 1970s landscape where industry and conservation meet along the Deerfield River. The map highlights a significant energy corridor, featuring the Sherman Reservoir, Lower Reservoir, and the Upper Reservoir Bear Swamp, supported by the Sherman Dam and multiple substations. This industrial footprint is balanced by the extensive woodlands of the Monroe State Forest and Mohawk Trail State Forest, which preserve the steep terrain around Spruce Mtn and Negus Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-oriented landmarks, including North Cem, East Cem, and Zoar Cem, alongside the Rowe Sch. The legacy of 19th-century infrastructure is visible in the Boston and Maine Railroad and the famous Hoosac Tunnel, with its associated Hoosac Tunnel Sta. In the eastern section, the historic Davis Mine remains marked near Davis Mine Road, providing a point of interest for those studying the region’s mining history.
