1935 Map of Mount Toby

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Connecticut River carves a deep valley through this 1935 survey, defining the boundaries of agricultural and forest land in Franklin and Hampshire counties. High ground is dominated by the Mt Toby Demonstration Forest and the dramatic elevations of North Sugarloaf Mtn and South Sugarloaf Mtn, which overlook the fertile bottomlands near Sunderland and Bradstreet. The landscape shows a region transitioning between rural farming and institutional development, evidenced by the presence of Massachusetts State College and the State Fish Hatcheries. Transportation networks are firmly established with the Boston And Maine RR and Central Vermont RY serving small depots like East Whately Station. From the isolated schoolhouses like Three Corners Sch to the industrial history suggested by Factory Hollow Pond, the map records the infrastructure of the Connecticut Valley before mid-century expansion.
