1941 Map of Mt Holyoke

About this map

Amherst College and Mt Holyoke College anchor this detailed study of the Pioneer Valley, where the academic centers of Amherst and South Hadley are connected by a landscape of early industrial sites and diverse terrain. The Connecticut River carves a dramatic path through the center, creating features like the Oxbow and Shepherd Island while serving as the boundary between Hatfield and Hadley. To the south, the dramatic ridgeline of the Holyoke Range rises sharply, punctuated by peaks such as Mt Holyoke, Mt Hitchcock, and Mt Norwottock.
