About this map

The Chicopee River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this post-war landscape, where the confluence of the Ware River, Quaboag River, and Swift River fostered a dense network of mill villages and rail lines. The settlement pattern is defined by these waterways, with established communities like Bondsville, Thorndike, and Three Rivers clustered around the river bends. Transportation is the central theme of the sheet, as it documents the intersection of three major rail corridors: the Boston and Maine RR, the Central Vermont RR, and the Boston and Albany RR.
