Although Mt. Sugarloaf is in South Deerfield, the land in the foreground of this picture is in Whately, Massachusetts. Covering the ground is broad-leaf tobacco, raised on many farms in Whately, Hatfield, and South Deerfield. Irish, German, and French Canadian immigrants, drawn to work building the railroads in the state set up as farmers in the area, as did later arrivals from Eastern Europe.
