1959 Map of Cheshire

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Mt Greylock State Reservation dominates the northern high ground of this 1959 revision, where the Appalachian Trail snakes along the ridgeline past Saddle Ball Mtn and Jones Nose. The industrial and social life of the valley is centered on the New York Central rail corridor and the Hoosic River, connecting the town of Cheshire with smaller outposts like Farnams and Berkshire. Notable for its detailed recording of mid-century infrastructure, the map shows a Drive-in Theater in Lanesborough and several extractive sites including Quarries and Gravel Pits. Water management is a primary theme, with the elongated Cheshire Reservoir serving as a central landmark amidst a network of brooks such as Kitchen Brook and Thunder Brook. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including Riverside Cem and Scott Cem.
