Most the scanned maps are partitioned in both North-South & East-West segments with reasonable overlap in both directions. The download files are normally organized to provide views comprising 2 or 3 different regions East. (Central,) & West. To my knowledge, these map images are not copyrighted, (or the copyright has exspired) so feel free to save them.

This is apparently a topographical map based on USGS maps up to 1955. It has a number of indications of old (discontinued) roads not on later USGS maps, plus the Mass Pike. It also combines a number of the USGA maps representing one map for all of Monson. There were no labels on this scanned map. (Thanks to L.Moore.) A good source of USGS Topographic maps is Historic USGS Maps of Monson, Massachusetts |
