1997 Map of Ashley Falls

About this map

The Housatonic River snakes through the valley floor of this tri-state borderland, where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York converge at the end of the twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the floodplain and the massive rises of the Berkshires and Taconic Range, including Mt Everett and Mt Frissell. Settlement patterns follow the river and rail corridor, with Sheffield and Ashley Falls serving as primary hubs alongside the Conrail line.
