1990 Map of Rowe

About this map

The Deerfield River carves a deep valley through this northern Massachusetts borderland, anchoring a landscape where industrial infrastructure and mountain wilderness coexist. In the town of Rowe, the presence of a Nuclear Powerplant near Sherman Reservoir and the Sherman Dam reflects the 20th-century energy development of the region, while the Hoosac Tunnel to the west remains a significant engineering landmark of the rail era. Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Sherman Cem, West Cem, and North Cem, which trace the early families of settlements like North Heath and Adamsville. The terrain is characterized by high peaks including Adams Mtn and Blueberry Peak, much of which is protected within the Monroe State Forest and Mohawk Trail State Forest. Significant resource extraction is noted at the Davis Mine in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
