1955 Map of Westhampton

About this map

The Westfield River carves a dramatic path through the hills of Hampshire County in the mid-1950s, dominated by the massive Knightville Dam and the expansive Federal Flood Control Land. This era shows a landscape transitioning from its industrial roots toward conservation and recreation, with established water bodies like Norwich Pond and Pine Island Lake dotting the terrain. The map records several family-named roads and landmarks, including Bryant Road and Bascom Hill, reflecting the deep agricultural and settlement history of the region.
