1897 Map of Becket

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

The rugged highlands of the Berkshires are captured here in the late 19th century, dominated by the winding course of the Housatonic River and the critical rail arteries of the Boston and Albany Railroad. This network defines the industrial and residential clusters of the era, from the manufacturing center at Lenox Furnace to the remote highland village of Washington. The landscape is a complex system of water management, visible in the numerous reservoirs and ponds like Plunkett Reservoir and Ashley Lake that served the growing urban needs of Pittsfield.
