2012 Map of Shutesbury

About this map

Shutesbury and the surrounding Hampshire County highlands are defined by a network of small upland settlements and significant water management features in this 2012 survey. To the east, the edge of the Quabbin Reservoir dominates the landscape, while smaller impoundments like Atkins Reservoir, Baker Reservoir, and Hawley Reservoir are scattered throughout the hills. Small historic clusters such as Moores Corner, Dudleyville, and Baconville are linked by winding roads that navigate the complex topography of Brushy Mountain, Mount Orient, and the January Hills. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, including Plainview Cem and Valley Cem. The area’s natural character is further highlighted by distinctive geological landmarks like Rattlesnake Gutter and the medicinal history suggested by Orient Springs near West Pelham.
