1885 Map of Northampton
USGS Topo · Published 1885About this map
Northampton and the Connecticut River valley are shown here in the late 19th century, during a period of dense industrial and educational growth. The Mill River winds through several manufacturing hamlets, including Williamsburg, Haydenville, and Leeds, while the broader valley is dominated by the sprawling campuses of the Agricultural College and a secondary College in Amherst. This survey illustrates a landscape defined by water power and institutional expansion, with the Insane Asylum overlooking the meadows south of the main settlement.
