2024 Map of Bash Bish Falls

About this map

The Taconic Range dominates this tri-state intersection where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York converge. This modern data synthesis highlights the significant elevation changes and water features that define the region, including the famous Bash Bish Falls and the winding Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The landscape is dotted with high-altitude ponds and peaks such as Mt Everett and Mt Frissell, while the lowlands reveal settled pockets at Taconic and Hammertown. Historical land use is evident in the numerous small family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, from the Alander Cem in the north to the Mount Riga Cem further south. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network, like Scoville Ore Mine Rd, which hints at the area's industrial past amid the contemporary protected forest lands.
