Yes and no. The vast majority of the indigenous population that were killed in the great dying happened between 1520 and 1550. Around 1580 surviving tribes started to rebound and reorganize themselves. Right when populations were set to take off again the Europeans started to land in New England, permanently stunting any chance of a recovery.
So instead of a mad max type scenario, it would probably be more akin to the mid 1400s in Europe. People still would have known about the event and talked about it, but there may have been hope for the future and the beginning of some social and economic abundance.
