1893 Map of Palmer

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

Industrial villages and vital rail corridors define this late 19th-century landscape where the Central Vermont Railroad and the Boston and Albany Railroad converge. The topography is dominated by the valley of the Chicopee River and its tributaries, which powered numerous manufacturing hamlets such as Thorndike, Three Rivers, and Bonds. Notable social institutions of the era are present, including the State Alms House near Monson, providing a look into how the state managed its vulnerable populations before the turn of the century.
