1952 Map of Wales

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Brimfield State Forest and the Nipmuck State Forest dominate this mid-century landscape along the Massachusetts and Connecticut border. The area is defined by a series of north-south valleys and prominent ridges like Mount Pisgah and Rattlesnake Mtn, with the Quinebaug River winding through the lowlands. Significant water features include the sprawling Hamilton Reservoir and the smaller Holland Pond, which supported local recreation at sites like the Springfield Boys Camp. In the northern section, the village of Brimfield and East Brimfield sit near St Anns Cem, while the town of Wales is centered around Lake George. The map preserves the rural road network, including the Mashapaug Road and Wales Road, which connected these small hill towns before modern expansion altered the local character.
