1958 Map of Hampden

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Minnechoag Mountain and the ridge of Rattlesnake Peak dominate the landscape in this mid-century survey of the Massachusetts-Connecticut borderlands. The transition from the urban reach of Springfield to the more rural village of Hampden is evident, with suburban expansion marked in purple through areas like Sixteen Acres. In Wilbraham, historical institutions such as the Wilbraham Academy and Wilbraham Country Club provide local landmarks, while the State Game Farm reflects the conservation and recreational management of the era. South of the border, the terrain softens into the Somers and Stafford countryside, where the Scantic River flows through a landscape dotted with ponds like Cooley Pond and Worthington Pond. The presence of small settlements like Baptist Village and Mileoak Corner alongside numerous cemeteries, including Adams Cem and Old Cemetery, offers significant data for those tracing local family lineage in these cross-state communities.
