About this map

The Connecticut River carves a winding path through this 1891 study of Hampshire County, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial water power and academic expansion. The river’s oxbow and islands, such as Elwell Island, anchor a valley where manufacturing hubs like Bay State Village and Florence flourished along the Mill River. To the west, the rugged elevations of Horse Mountain and the Saw Mill Hills overlook scattered rural settlements like West Whately and Loudville.
