1958 Map of Bashbish Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Bashbish Falls State Forest and the Mt Everett Reservation dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the tri-state corner where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York converge. The landscape is defined by high peaks and deep incisions like Sages Ravine, but the lower elevations reveal a network of human settlement and agriculture. Small hamlets such as Taconic, Hammertown, and Joyceville sit along the winding Under Mountain Road, while the waters of Washining Lake and Washinee Lake anchor the southern valleys. Genealogists and local historians can locate legacy sites including the Union Ch and Churchill Cem. The presence of the Mt Washington Lookout Tower atop the heights and the Landing Strip near the Schenob Brook valley illustrate how this terrain was managed for both observation and utility in the late 1950s.
