Wequamps  
Wequamps is an Algonkian word that refers to a place where a mountain drops off suddenly. Wequamps, today known as Mt. Sugarloaf, is the southernmost elevation of the Pemawatchuwatunck or Pocumtuck Range, in present-day Deerfield. A traditional Pocumtuck story describes the mountain as the body of a giant beaver turned to stone, of which Wequamps forms the head.
