About this map

The Connecticut River defines the western corridor of this landscape, winding past the village of Sunderland and the agricultural lands of Bradstreet and North Hadley. Higher elevations rise to the east, anchored by the prominent summit of Mount Toby and the distinct peaks of North Sugarloaf Mountain and South Sugarloaf Mountain. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling campus of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where Campus Pond and the University of Massachusetts botanical and academic grounds meet the residential growth of the early 21st century.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the placement of Leverett Station along the B & M RR and the specialized facilities at the Massachusetts State Fish Hatchery. For those tracing local families, the map identifies numerous burial grounds including Wildwood Cem, Riverside Cem, and Saint Stanislaus Cem. The presence of small airfields like Hatfield Pilgrim Airport and Hadley Airport reflects the rural aviation infrastructure of the Pioneer Valley.
