1897 Map of Becket

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Boston and Albany Railroad defines the industrial and logistical spine of this Berkshire County landscape, following the winding course of the Housatonic River and carving through the central uplands. Small manufacturing and transport hubs such as Lenox Furnace and Washington Station P.O. illustrate the era's reliance on water power and rail access. The map reveals a transition from the developing urban edges of Pittsfield to the higher elevations of Peru Hill and Crane Hill.
