1947 Map of Southwick

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Sodom Mountain and Drake Mountain dominate the central ridge of this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between the upland plateaus of Granville and the lower river valleys to the east. The Westfield River and Little River carve through the north, with the notable Little River Gorge and Power House marking the industrial and natural intersection of the terrain. Near the town of Southwick, the College Highway serves as a primary north-south artery, passing near the Southwick Depot and the expansive Congamond Lakes system at the Connecticut border. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure of the era, from the West Parish Filters and Westfield Reservoir to numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Pine Hill Cem and Rice Cem. Local recreational development is also evident at the Hilltop Trail Golf Course and Cooley Lake, reflecting the post-war character of this Massachusetts-Connecticut borderland.
