About this map

Williams College serves as the cultural anchor of this 1940s landscape, where the campus layout is clearly defined amidst the valley floor of the Hoosic River. To the south, the dramatic rise of Mt Greylock dominates the terrain, featuring the War Memorial Beacon at its summit and the early path of the Appalachian Trail winding along its ridges. The map captures a transition between the academic center of Williamstown and the industrial corridors of Blackinton and Braytonville, where the Boston and Maine Railroad follows the river's bend toward North Adams.
