1949 Map of Belchertown

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Belchertown and its surrounding Hampshire County landscape appear here in the late 1940s, revealing a rural network of family-named cemeteries and early industrial infrastructure. The settlement of Dwight marks a significant junction where the Central Vermont railroad skirts the foothills below Mt Lincoln. Further south, the State School and the St Hyacinths Seminary represent the institutional growth of the era, while the Sewage Disposal plant near Jabish Brook signals the mid-century modernization of local utilities.
