1990 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

The Connecticut River meanders through this portion of the valley, separating the peaks of Mt Toby State Forest from the agricultural and academic centers of the west. In the late twentieth century, the landscape shows a mix of dense forest reservations and established settlements like South Deerfield and Williamsburg. The southern portion is dominated by the sprawling campus of the University of Massachusetts, featuring prominent landmarks such as Alumni Stadium and a Powerplant. Genealogists may find interest in several cemeteries, including Holy Ghost Cem and Stanislaus Cem, which reflect the area's cultural history. Natural resource management is evident through the State Fish Hatchery and several water bodies like Lake Warner and the Northampton Reservoir. The presence of an Old RR Grade hints at the changing transportation networks that once linked these valley towns.
