1935 Map of Mt Holyoke

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Holyoke Range dominates the southern landscape of this 1930s survey, anchoring a region defined by its prominent academic institutions and the winding Connecticut River. Higher education is central to the area's layout, with the campuses of Amherst College and Mt Holyoke College clearly delineated alongside local educational landmarks like the Harts Brook Sch. The river valley shows a complex hydrology, featuring the distinctive Ox Bow, Elwell Island, and the drainage of Bachelor Brook. Small rural settlements such as Pearl City, Hockanum, and Moody Corner are connected by a network of local roads and the prominent Boston and Maine Railroad. This map captures a transition point in Connecticut River Valley history, where traditional agricultural settlements and early aviation at the Landing Field sit alongside established collegiate centers and expanding industrial infrastructure like the cross-country Transmission Line.
