About this map

The Connecticut River bisects this 1930s landscape, serving as a corridor for the Boston and Maine RR and the Central Vermont RY. The river valley is flanked by agricultural flats like Pauchaug Meadow and Great Meadow, which contrast sharply with the elevations of Brush Mountain and Satans Kingdom. This era shows a community in transition, featuring the Northfield OCCM Camp S 86 and the industrial presence of the Warwick Mill.

Genealogists can find localized landmarks such as the Coller Cem and South Mt Cem, while researchers of educational history can trace the grounds of the Mt Herman Sch. The map also preserves the location of a Deserted Village in the northeast corner and the river crossings at Munns Ferry and the Bennetts Meadow Bridge, providing a clear look at local transport before the expansion of modern highway systems.
