1973 Map of Egremont

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Egremont and the foothills of the Berkshires dominate this 1970s landscape, where the agricultural tradition of the valley meets the growing recreational and educational infrastructure of the era. The presence of Simon's Rock Early College and Cornwall Academy points to the region's mid-century shift toward a campus-oriented economy, while the Catamount Ski Area and numerous golf courses highlight its development as a seasonal destination. Historic markers, such as the Battlesite Mon near Sheffield, sit alongside natural landmarks like Prospect Lake and the steep slopes of Mount Washington State Forest. The map also captures the distinct village clusters of North Egremont, South Egremont, and Alford, all connected by a network of local thoroughfares like Baldwin Hill Road and Townhouse Road. This detailed record documents a moment when working farms and institutional campuses coexisted before the further modernization of the New England countryside.
