1958 Map of Ashley Falls

About this map

The Housatonic River meanders across the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside settlements and the Penn Central rail line. This mid-century survey captures the tri-state corner region during a period of transition, where established agricultural centers like Sheffield and Canaan maintain their traditional footprints alongside newer landmarks like the Drive-in Theater near the state line. The map detail highlights the complex drainage patterns of the valley, from the Barnum Street Swamp to the confluence of the Konkapot River and Blackberry River.
