About this map

The Connecticut River and the Chicopee River serve as the industrial arteries for this 1930s landscape, where dense urban development meets the foothills of the Holyoke Range. In Holyoke, the intricate canal system is visible, supporting the heavy manufacturing base of the era. To the south and east, the map details the growth of Chicopee and its outlying industrial hamlets like Indian Orchard and Chicopee Falls. Specialized infrastructure from the pre-war period is prominent, including the National Guard Rifle Range and the Fiberloid plant, alongside community institutions such as the Chicopee Tuberculosis Hospital. Local transit and genealogy are well-represented through the networks of the Boston and Maine Railroad and numerous religious burial sites like St Stanislaus Cem and St Aloysius Cem.
