2021 Map of Cheshire

About this map

The Hoosic River valley forms the industrial and residential spine of this Berkshire County landscape, where the long-established settlements of Cheshire and Berkshire sit alongside the Cheshire Reservoir. The area's transport evolution is evident in the Ashuwillticook Rail Trl, which follows the historic path of the railroad through the valley floor. To the west, the steep rises of the Taconic Range dominate the horizon, while the eastern heights are traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trl near The Cobbles. This contemporary survey also highlights numerous burial sites for genealogical research, including the Center Cem in Lanesborough and the North Cem near the town center. The map reveals a transition from the dense village clusters of Maple Grove and Arnoldville to the high-elevation peaks like Saddle Ball Mtn and Jones Nose.
