1897 Map of Sheffield

Along the rugged western boundary, the New York Massachusetts state line crosses high peaks like Mt Washington and Mt Frissell. Genealogists and local historians will find specific interest in the smaller hamlets such as Van Deusenville, Gomorrah, and Sodom, as well as the remote Union Church located near the base of the mountains. The map also records early infrastructure like the New England R.R. and the industrial activity at Mill River.
