1941 Map of Northfield

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery of this 1941 edition, carving a deep valley through the northern borderlands where Massachusetts meets Vermont and New Hampshire. The landscape is defined by its transition from fertile lowlands like Pauchaug Meadow and Beers Plain to the prominent heights of North Mtn and Crag Mtn. This period captures a highly developed educational and transit hub, centered on Northfield and the Mt Hermon School campus. Transportation networks are particularly dense, showing the Boston and Maine Railroad and Central Vermont Railway following the river banks, connected by significant river crossings including the Schell Bridge and Bennett Meadow Bridge. Local landmarks such as Dickinson Hall and the CCC Camp reflect the institutional presence in the area during the early 1940s.
