About this map

Northampton and Easthampton dominate this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating a period of significant institutional and industrial density along the Mill River. Large-scale facilities such as the U S Veterans Administration Facility No 95, the Northampton State Hospital, and the Hampshire County Sanitorium occupy prominent positions, reflecting the era's regional importance as a center for healthcare and education, further evidenced by Williston Academy and the Clarke School For The Deaf.

Outside the urban centers, the terrain transitions into the steep elevations of Mt Tom and the Saw Mill Hills. The winding Connecticut River creates the distinctive Ox Bow, while smaller agricultural hamlets like Loudville and West Farms persist alongside the Boston and Maine Railroad. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including Bridge Street Cem and the Spring Grove Cemetery.
