Interactive Map for the Hidden Mill Riverwalk

by

Here’s an amazing interactive map for the Mill Riverwalk from Paradise Pond to Old South Street.  Check it out and send us your feedback at info@millrivergreenway.org
Thanks to the incredible work of Victoria Beckley and Jon Caris at the Spatial Analysis Laboratory at Smith College, we have an interactive map of the riverwalk from Paradise Pond to the corner of Old South Street and Conz in Northampton.  This is a companion to the brochure, but allows us to display other features and links, such as Smith College’s Paradise Pond monitoring project.  It also provides a more accurate location for the former Hoe Shop at the dam.

Please let us know what you think of it.  You can find it here.
