1952 Map of Wales

About this map

Brimfield State Forest and Nipmuck State Forest anchor this mid-century portrait of the Massachusetts and Connecticut borderlands. The landscape is defined by its significant water features, from the expansive Hamilton Reservoir and Holland Pond to smaller mountain waters like Lake George and Vinton Pond. Settlement patterns follow the winding valleys between high points such as Rattlesnake Mtn and Janes Hill, with established villages at Wales, Holland, and Brimfield connected by a network of rural roads like Monson Road and Reed Hill Road. Local institutional history is reflected in the presence of the Springfield Boys Camp and Springfield Girls Camp, while genealogical interests are served by the location of St Anns Cem and other rural burial grounds. The state line divides the northern town centers from the more secluded waters of Mashapaug Pond to the south.
