About this map

The Connecticut River and Deerfield River define the industrial and agricultural landscape of Franklin County in this 1990 survey. The regional hub of Greenfield is shown in detail, where the historic Mohawk Trail meets the Boston and Maine RR network. These transportation corridors supported the development of satellite settlements like Turners Falls, Shelburne Falls, and Deerfield. The map captures a high density of educational institutions, from the Greenfield Community College campus to private schools like the Eaglebrook Sch and Bement Sch.

Preservation and industry coexist across the terrain, with the Pocumtuck Range and Shelburne State Forest flanking the valley's developed floors. Notable landmarks for local historians include numerous burial sites such as Arms Cem and Laurel Hill Cem, alongside public works like the Pumping Sta and various gravel pits. The intricate river geography, including Barton Cove and The Narrows, highlights the area's long-standing reliance on its waterways for power and transport.
