1975 Map of Rowe

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Deerfield River carves a deep, winding path through the northern Massachusetts highlands in the mid-1970s, anchoring industrial and transport nodes like Monroe Bridge and Zoar. This orthophoto map provides a clear aerial perspective on the region's complex water management and infrastructure, highlighting the Sherman Reservoir at the Vermont border and the Lower Reservoir to the south. The dramatic topography is punctuated by the engineering landmark of the Hoosac Tunnel, which enters the mountain near the river's bend. Small hamlets like Drury and the township of Rowe sit amidst dense forest cover, showing the settlement patterns of Franklin County before modern development altered the woodland character. The interplay between the steep river valley and the rail line at Charlemont illustrates the historical reliance on these natural corridors for movement through the Berkshires.
