Remarkably detailed maps of
Turners Falls and its surrounding villages were made in the late 1800s - early 1900s for the purposes
of fire insurance. The maps
show details of building construction in the built-up areas of the village -
with special attention to industrial sites. The original maps are
rare - they were not mass-produced and few copies survive. We have
acquired color scans and photographs from copies at the Library of Congress
and other repositories.
The first page of each set has an elaborate title. Here is
the 1909 title to the 11 sheets of that year. To the right is a detail
of part of downtown Millers Falls in 1909.
We are pleased to make color copies of
these "Sanborn" maps available in a convenient form for the first time since their
publication a century ago. The links below will lead you to some
low-resolution copies.
