1888 Map of Becket

USGS Topo · Published 1888

About this map

Industrial nodes and rural upland settlements define the landscape of the Berkshire hills during the late nineteenth century. The Boston and Albany Railroad serves as a critical corridor, winding through the highlands to connect Washington Station and North Becket with the larger centers of Pittsfield and Dalton. This rail infrastructure highlights the era's reliance on steam transport to move goods and people through the difficult terrain of the Hoosac Range and Taconic foothills.
