2012 Map of Great Barrington

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a path through this Berkshire County landscape, anchoring the regional center of Great Barrington and its surrounding neighborhoods like Berkshire Heights and Belcher Square. The 2012 geography reveals a mix of recreational and industrial history, from the Butternut Ski Area on the slopes of Warner Mountain to the United States Fish Hatchery in the village of Hartsville. Smaller historic settlements such as Van Deusenville and Risingdale are still clearly defined, alongside family-named heights like Three Mile Hill and Mount Wilcox. This modern survey traces the enduring presence of local landmarks, including the Saint Peters and Elmwood cemeteries. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Lake Buel and the protected terrain within Butternut Basin, showing the evolution of the area as a destination for outdoor activity while maintaining its established residential identity.
