1973 Map of Berlin

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The valley of the Little Hoosic River serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this portion of the Rensselaer County highlands during the early 1970s. Linear communities such as Petersburg, Berlin, Center Berlin, and Cherryplain follow the river and the Boston and Maine Railroad north-south, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by steep ridges. To the east, the state lines of Vermont and Massachusetts intersect atop the Taconic Range, where the Taconic Crest Trail traverses peaks like Berlin Mtn and Misery Mountain. The landscape reveals a mix of recreational and academic influences, featuring the Williams College Ski Area and the Carmelite Novitiate. Numerous "hollows" such as Mattison Hollow and Greene Hollow cut into the mountains, documenting the local family names tied to these drainage basins and narrow valley roads.
