1961 Map of Northfield

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this tri-state borderland, where Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont converge. The landscape is defined by its educational and agricultural heritage, notably anchored by the Northfield School for Girls and the Northfield School for Boys near Mt Hermon. This 1961 revision of earlier planetable surveys reveals a valley floor composed of distinct named plains and meadows, such as Beers Plain and Pauchaug Meadow, which supported the river-bottom farming economy. Transport is dominated by the parallel routes of the Boston and Maine and Central Vermont railroads, which once connected small hubs like Gill Station and East Northfield Station to larger regional markets. Beyond the valley, the terrain rises sharply into the Northfield State Forest and the evocative rocky heights of Satans Kingdom.
