About this map

The Chicopee River and its various branches create a bustling industrial corridor through Hampden County in the late 19th century, where water power and rail infrastructure intersect. Extensive rail networks including the New London Northern Railroad and the Boston and Albany Railroad converge at key transit points like Barretts Junction and Palmer. These transportation hubs supported a landscape of manufacturing and institutional development, evidenced by Ellis Mills and the State Alms House near Monson.
