About this item

In this map, Sunderland, Massachusetts, clearly shows the original 1718 layout of homelots. They tended to be long and narrow, a design that can be seen in other Connecticut River Valley towns such as Deerfield and Longmeadow, Massachusetts. In comparison, the homelots in Leverett, established in 1750, do not follow this pattern.
