1975 Map of Cheshire

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Cheshire Reservoir serves as a central focal point for this 1975 aerial study of Berkshire County, reflecting the industrial and agricultural patterns of the late twentieth century. This orthophotograph, produced by the Geological Survey, offers a distinct perspective of the narrow valley floor where the Hoosic River flows through Adams and Cheshire. The visual data reveals the density of residential and commercial development in the settlements of Lanesborough and Farnams compared to the more open, wooded terrain surrounding New Ashford in the northwest. To the south, the map captures the northern edge of Pontoosuc Lake and the community of Berkshire, documenting the land use and drainage patterns of the Green River watershed before further modern development altered the local landscape.
