1958 Map of Bashbish Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bashbish Falls and the surrounding high peaks of the Taconic Range dominate this three-state border region, where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York converge. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Mt Everett and Mt Race down to the watery basins of Twin Lakes and Washingining Lake. This 1958 edition, with updates reflecting the late 1960s, documents a transition in the local economy as it shifts from rural industry toward recreation and conservation. The path of the Appalachian Trail winds through the Mt Everett Reservation and down through Sages Ravine, tracing the ridge lines between peaks like Mt Plantain and Bear Mtn. Along the eastern lowlands, the Penn Central railroad serves the small communities of Taconic and Hammertown, while institutional footprints like the Berkshire Sch and Mt Everett Regional Sch anchor the local population centers.
