About this map

Greenfield and Turners Falls anchor this mid-century survey of the Connecticut River valley, where industrial infrastructure meets historic academic grounds. The landscape is defined by the sharp bend of the Connecticut River and the convergence of the Boston and Maine Railroad and Central Vermont lines, supporting local hubs like Montague City and East Deerfield.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including Green River Cem and the Polish Cem, alongside esteemed educational institutions such as Deerfield Academy and the Stoneleigh Prospect Hill Sch. Natural landmarks like Poets Seat and the Pocumtuck Range rise above the river plains, while the Mohawk Trail snakes through the terrain, illustrating the era's evolving transportation network before the interstate expansion.
