1944 Map of Berlin

About this map

The Little Hoosic River valley forms the primary corridor for settlement and transit along the eastern edge of New York, where the Rutland railroad tracks parallel the water through a string of small communities. The terrain is defined by a series of significant hollows, including Greene Hollow and Mattison Hollow, which cut deep into the Taconic Range toward the Massachusetts and Vermont borders. This 1944 topography captures a landscape of steep elevation changes, punctuated by high points like Berlin Mtn and Sugarloaf Hill.
