About this map

Williams College anchors the northern portion of this 1947 survey, where the Hoosic River winds past the academic grounds and Weston Field. The landscape is a study in verticality, dominated by the massive presence of Mt Greylock to the south, featuring the War Memorial Beacon and the high passage of the Appalachian Trail. To the east, the industrial character of North Adams begins to emerge through settlements like Blackinton and Braytonville along the Boston and Maine Railroad corridor.
