About this map

Williamsburg and the surrounding villages of Haydenville and West Hatfield define this 1935 landscape at the boundary of Franklin and Hampshire counties. The area is marked by a complex network of water resources and early industrial footprints, including the Northampton Reservoir and Brass Mill Pond. Transport is anchored by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which terminates at the Williamsburg Station, and established routes like State Highway No 116 and Old Goshen Road.

The terrain is characterized by a dense succession of named summits such as Petticoat Hill, Sikes Hill, and Unquomonk Hill. Local community life is evidenced by institutions like the Poland Sch and Mountain Street Sch, alongside several burial grounds including Village Hill Cem and West Whately Cem. The survey captures the transition from the rugged highlands of the Conway State Forest to the valley settlements along the Mill River.
