1958 Map of Ashley Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Housatonic River snakes through the valley floor, creating a landscape of complex meanders and wetlands such as the Barnum Street Swamp and Robbins Swamp. This mid-century survey captures the tri-state border region as it was being modernized, with the Penn Central railroad corridors and state highways connecting established settlements like Sheffield, Canaan, and Ashley Falls. The map reveals a transition between the industrial and agricultural past and newer developments, including the Drive-in Theater near the river and educational institutions like the Berkshire School. Steep topographical features such as Miles Mtn and Rattlesnake Hill flank the valleys of the Konkapot River and Blackberry River, while local landmarks like the Mountain View Cem and Center Ch provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking families in both Berkshire Co and Litchfield Co.
