About this map

The industrial northern limits of Adams give way to a landscape of high ridges and state-protected woodlands in this mid-century survey of the Berkshire highlands. Settled pockets like Savoy Center and Windsor are connected by a network of winding roads including Savoy Road and Main Road. This terrain is defined by its water system, where the Westfield River and the Chickley River drain the eastern slopes while numerous brooks like The Tomb Brook and Bow Brook carve through the deep hollows.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites such as St Stanislaus Kostka Cem, The Tomb Cem, and Shaw Cem. The map highlights a significant transition between the dense development in the northwest and the expansive Savoy Mtn State Forest. Local landmarks of the era include the Crane Sch, the Memorial Tower, and the Radio Tower Windsor, reflecting the community's infrastructure before late-20th-century shifts.
