The road winds through pine-clad kame terraces, left on the margin of the ice which filled the Lake Hadley basin; and where it emerges from the woods (24.4), the line of hills making the Holyoke Range may be seen stretching westward in a series of sharp points. These are the projecting edges of the Holyoke lava flow which resisted erosion after all the softer sediment and volcanic debris flanking it were removed. The road to Mount Lincoln turns right at Pansy Park (24.9), and north of this point the Amherst road follows a kame terrace between the Pelham Hills on the right, and the former ice-filled bed of glacial Lake Hadley on the left. Ultimately (27.1) the highway leaves the terrace and drops to a delta which was deposited in Lake Hadley. The view northward shows Mount Toby and Mount Sugarloaf outlined sharply, and to the east near the Orient, the sharp V-shaped notch of the north fork of Fort River cuts one of the kame terraces. The delta deposit (27.5 to 27.7) shows excellent fore-set beds in the gravel pit (27.7), and its entire surface is dotted with ponds which occupy irregular kettle holes (see pp. 7-8). The highway continues down the delta slope and crosses the Fort River (28.4). This river established a meandering course upon the bed of Lake Hadley, but its floodplain is now excavated below the level of the lake deposits, which form a terrace above the stream. The road passes through Amherst (30.2) and returns to Northampton (37.4) by the outbound route. _South Hadley, Amherst, Northampton_ The route 116 north from the road junction at South Hadley Falls (33.2) also has its points of interest. After it passes over the deeply dissected deposits in Lake Springfield, it rises above the old lake level at the Mount Holyoke campus (35.1) and continues at this higher elevation beyond the Hockanum-Amherst fork (35.9) in the center of South Hadley. Along the right fork (State Highway 116), which leads to Amherst, horizontal Longmeadow sandstone outcrops west of the road (37.1) where the slope to the valley of Bachelor Brook begins. The flat lake plain extends from Moody’s Corner (37.4) to the base of the Holyoke Range. A gravel road turns right from the highway (38.2) and crosses the brook one mile east, and from this locality were excavated many of the excellent dinosaur footprints in the Amherst College collection.
