1946 Map of Cheshire
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Cheshire Reservoir serves as a central valley focal point for this mid-1940s survey of Berkshire County, where the industrial and natural landscapes of Massachusetts converge. The Boston and Albany railroad corridor anchors the eastern valley, connecting the settlements of Cheshire, Berkshire, and Farnams. High-elevation landmarks like Saddle Ball Mountain and Jones Nose overlook the more developed lowlands, illustrating the steep topography that defined local transit and town placement. Local life and industry are marked by the presence of a Quarry near the reservoir and the Stone Sch in Lanesborough. From the northern boundary of Adams down through Dalton, the map reveals a post-war landscape of established mill villages like Maple Grove and Arnoldsville and the intricate drainage of the East Branch and Kitchen Brook.
