1975 Map of Worthington

About this map

The Westfield River carves a distinct path through this Hampshire County landscape, dictating the development of small settlements during the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad, derived from aerial photography taken in late 1975, provides a direct visual record of the land use and forest cover surrounding Cummington and West Cummington. The transition from river valley to the higher elevations of the Berkshires is evident in the cluster of small crossroads such as Bryant Four Corners and Worthington Corners. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based survey reveals the exact footprint of fields and structures as they existed, offering a clear view of West Worthington and the surrounding woodlands before decades of subsequent growth.
