About this map

The Westfield River carves a deep valley through the Berkshire foothills, defining the industrial and transportation corridor of this Massachusetts landscape. The settlement at Woronoco and the industrial sites at Crescent Mills emphasize the historical reliance on water power, while the surrounding highlands are punctuated by notable peaks like Tekoa Mtn and Shatterack Mtn. The transition from the more urbanized Westfield and the Westfield State Coll campus in the southeast to the upland village of Montgomery illustrates the region's diverse settlement patterns.

Local history is preserved in sites such as the Montgomery Center Cem and Clarks Cem, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the Tighe Carmody Reservoir. This large body of water, along with the Tekoa Reservoir and Westfield Reservoir, underscores the area's role in municipal water management. Recreation and education are also represented through Camp Woronoak, situated near the rugged slopes of Russell Mtn.
