1944 Map of Cheshire

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Hoosic River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation spine of this region during the mid-1940s, supporting a string of settlements from Adams and Maple Grove in the north down to Berkshire in the south. The Boston and Albany RR follows this valley floor, passing through Cheshire Harbor and Arnoldsville while skirting the eastern edge of the expansive Cheshire Reservoir. This landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between the valley and high points like Saddle Ball Mountain and North Mountain. High-altitude recreation and resource extraction are both evident, with the Appalachian Trail winding across the ridges while a Quarry and the Stone Sch sit near the base of Pratt Hill. The presence of smaller catchments like Lanesboro Reservoir reflects the localized water management necessary for these hill-country communities.
