Remarkable detailed maps of Shelburne Falls 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 rarely seen today, as they were not mass-produced and few copies survive. 
The first page of each set has an index. Here is the 1905 index to the 5 sheets of that year.  To the right is a detail near the Buckland Town Hall site in 1905
Five sets of maps were made in the period 1885-1919.  Each set consists of 3 or more maps. 

We are pleased to make copies of these maps available in a convenient form for the first time since their publication a century ago. These links will lead you to actual scans of the original maps.
