2024 Map of Westhampton

About this map

Westhampton and the village of Norwich center this exploration of the eastern Berkshire foothills, where the industrial legacy of Bisbee Mill sits near the headwaters of the North Branch Manhan River. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named landmarks and historic burying grounds, such as the Damon Burying Ground Cem and Torrey Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing early Hampshire County residents. To the west, the Westfield River corridor is dominated by the Knightville Reservoir and the Westfield Wild and Scenic River designation, illustrating the area's transition toward protected natural spaces. The map details a complex network of brooks, including Dead Branch and Roberts Meadow Brook, flowing between prominent elevations like Mt Pisgah and Pomeroy Mtn, revealing the topographic challenges that shaped local settlement patterns and early transport routes.
