Colrian Orchards
Can you help identify the Colrain Orchards in 1961? There are about 33 separate orchard shown on the 1961 USGS map, just like the 3 seen above here. ********* PROJECT ********* To identify all of the orchards large and small by an owner's name or some other ID such as "a large pick your own orchard owned by a guy who had an old red Dodge" ----- Anything to get this list going. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do this ? The Colrain Historical Society is thinking of making a "Colrain Apples Cookbook" and a map pinpointing the orchards should be part of the book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below are 4 sections of the USGS map with each orchard numbered. Northwest Colrain.... Wilson Hill etc Northeast Colrain.... near Green River Southwest Colrain.... Catamount etc Southwestwest Colrain.... Van Nuys Road etc
