1958 Map of Becket

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Boston and Albany (New York Central) railroad corridor defines the transport geography of this section of the Berkshires, tracing the valley of the West Branch Westfield River. This late-1950s survey captures a transition between the area's agricultural past and its development as a recreational destination. Small clusters of civic life remain at Washington, Becket, and Middlefield, while large tracts are dedicated to the October Mountain State Forest and Peru State Forest. Cultural and educational landmarks are prominent, including the Mt St Lawrence Novitiate, Camp Greylock, and Camp Becket near the waters of Center Pond. The map also preserves the location of the Washington Church and Middlefield School, providing a detailed record of the community infrastructure that once served these upland townships.
