1943 Map of Shutesbury

About this map

Quabbin Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its shoreline defining the transition between the rolling uplands and the submerged river valley. Surveyed just before the mid-1940s, this record shows the rugged interior of Franklin and Hampshire counties, where steep elevations like Brushy Mtn and Mt Orient separate tightly clustered settlements. The network of brooks, including Sawmill River and Amethyst Brook, dictates the placement of early industry and habitation, supporting local reservoirs such as Atkins Reservoir and Gates Reservoir.
