1960 Map of Berlin

About this map

The Taconic Range dominates this 1960 revision, forming a high-relief boundary where New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont converge. The valley of the Little Hoosic River serves as the primary corridor for settlement, linking the communities of Petersburg, Berlin, and Center Berlin. This area is notable for its dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Wilkinson Cem, Jones Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem, which reflect the deep genealogical roots of the region's early farming families. The landscape is deeply incised by numerous hollows, such as Mattison Hollow Brook and Satterlee Hollow, which define the local geography. Significant institutional footprints are visible, from the Central Sch to the Carmelite Novitiate, while the higher elevations are preserved within the Hopkins Memorial Experimental Forest.
