1964 Map of Easthampton

About this map

The Connecticut River forms a sweeping Oxbow in this mid-century portrait of the Pioneer Valley, where industrial centers like Northampton and Easthampton are established alongside institutional landmarks. Education and healthcare define the local landscape, visible through the grounds of Smith College, Williston Academy, and the sprawling Northampton State Hospital. To the west, the Sawmill Hills and Mineral Hills provide a contrast to the dense settlement patterns near the river, while the Conrail lines connect the mills and manufacturing centers of the era.
