Amherst College, Hampshire College, and Mt Holyoke College anchor this modern survey of the Pioneer Valley, where the Connecticut River winds through fertile bottomlands like Hockanum Flat. The dramatic geography of the Mount Holyoke Range dominates the center of the sheet, featuring landmarks such as Mt Holyoke, Titans Piazza, and The Notch. This 2018 survey details the transition from the collegiate and residential centers of Amherst and South Hadley to the protected forests along the New England National Scenic Trail. Between these heights and the river, the landscape is dotted with smaller locales like East Hadley and Aldrich Mills, connected by historical routes including Old Ferry Rd and the New England Central Railroad.
