About this map

The industrial corridor of the Hoosic River valley dominates this mid-century landscape, tracing the urban development of North Adams and Adams during a period of established manufacturing. The map documents the critical infrastructure of the Boston and Maine RR, most notably the Hoosac Tunnel Central Shaft, a massive engineering feat through the Hoosac Range. This mountain terrain separates the valley floor from the highland settlements of Florida and West Summit, connected by the winding path of the Mohawk Trail.
