The Oxbow (also known as the Ox-Bow) is an extension of the Connecticut River, located in Northampton, Massachusetts. It is famous for its appearance in the 1836 painting ''The Oxbow'' by Thomas Cole. ==History== Historically, the Oxbow was connected directly to the Connecticut river as a large U-Shaped bend.〔(History ) at Chronos istorical.org〕 In 1840, flood waters cut through the narrow section, separating the Oxbow from the main river and the current. In the early 1900s, the Oxbow was used extensively for logging operations, as a holding area for logs sent down river. The northern end was later cut off to build Interstate 91, which runs between the Oxbow and the Connecticut River. The Connecticut River is still accessible by a channel made under the Interstate 91 and U.S. Route 5 bridges.〔(Maps of OFBA Facilities ) at Department of Fish and Game (Mass.org)〕
