1975 Map of Williamsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Williamsburg and Haydenville occupy the southern reaches of this 1975 aerial orthophotograph, showing the village layouts along the banks of the Mill River. The imagery reveals the contrast between the concentrated mill-town settlements and the heavily forested uplands of Franklin County. In the central part of the quadrangle, the Mountain Street Reservoir sits amidst the wooded terrain, providing a significant landmark between the larger towns and the smaller communities of West Whately and Whately to the east. Traces of the mid-1970s landscape are visible in the patterns of clearing and woodlots near Searsville, reflecting the rural character of the region before late-twentieth-century development. This orthophoto provides a precise record of the physical geography and building footprints during a transitional period for Massachusetts hill towns.
