About this map

The Housatonic River and the West Branch of Westfield River define the industrial and transit corridors of this Berkshire region in the late 19th century. Surveyed in 1886, the map reveals a landscape deeply connected by rail, with the Boston and Albany and the North Adams Branch Boston and Albany threading through narrow valley passes to serve manufacturing outposts like Lenox Furnace and high-elevation towns such as Hinsdale.
