About this map

The village of Westhampton and the waters of the Westfield River define this part of Hampshire County. Settlement patterns follow the winding valleys, with clusters of activity at Knightville, Goss Heights, and Norwich. The landscape is heavily marked by its water resources, from the expansive Knightville Reservoir in the west to smaller bodies like Pine Island Lake and Norwich Pond. Industrial history is represented by the Bisbee Mill site on the northern edge of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, including Bofat Cem, Damon Cem, and Norwich Bridge Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges such as Mt Pisgah, Spruce Hill, and Pomeroy Mtn, which separate the various brook systems like Robert's Meadow Brook and the Manhan River. These natural features, along with landmarks like Shaw Ledges and Kidds Lookout, illustrate the varied topography that has shaped the community's development.
