1939 Map of Hampden

About this map

Wilbraham Academy and the village of Hampden anchor this 1930s landscape along the Massachusetts-Connecticut border. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Minnechoag Mountain, Mt Vision, and Rattlesnake Peak, which overlook a network of valley roads and small settlements. The Scantic River and its East Branch wind through the southeastern portion of the map, while the North Branch and South Branch of the Mill River drain the western slopes toward Sixteen Acres.
