About this map

Windsor and Savoy anchor this survey of the Berkshire highlands, where the Hoosac Range forms a significant geological divide between the Atlantic and Hudson watersheds. The map documents a landscape of high summits and deeply incised stream valleys, including the headwaters of the Westfield River, Chickley River, and Hoosic River. Small settlements such as Savoy Center and Bowens Corners are interspersed with family-named landmarks like Fobes Hill and Hales Hill, indicating the area's long-standing agricultural and residential heritage.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites of interest, including the uniquely named The Tomb Cem near Savoy and Saint Stanislaus Kostka Cem in the northwest corner. The drainage patterns of brooks like Drained Land Brook and Steep Bank Brook reveal the difficult terrain that historically shaped transportation routes, such as the winding Stafford Hill Rd and Old Main Rd. Notable elevations like Borden Mtn and Weston Mtn further define this classic New England upland environment.
