1948 Map of Egremont

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The New York and Massachusetts state line carves through the steep eastern slopes of the Taconic Range, separating Hillsdale from the lowland farming villages of Berkshire County. This 1946 topography reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts, from the 1,903-foot summit of Mt Fray and the peaks of Mount Washington State Park down to the fertile valleys of North Egremont and South Egremont. A sophisticated mid-century infrastructure is evident in the Great Barrington Airport and Wyantenuck Golf Course, while the Appalachian Trail winds south along the ridgeline of Mt Sterling. Small water bodies like Prospect Lake and Mill Pond anchor the valley floor, connected by winding routes such as Alford North Egremont Road. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of Riverside Cem and the curiously named Bow Wow Cem.
