About this map

The Housatonic River carves a path through the valley at Great Barrington, anchoring a landscape where industrial heritage meets the high ridges of Beartown Mountain. In this 2015 update, the established settlements of Van Deusenville and Belcher Square sit alongside family-named landmarks like Three Mile Hill and Mansfield Pond. The map reveals a high concentration of water features, from the Barbieri Reservoir to the recreationally significant Lake Buel and Benedict Pond.

Long-distance hikers will find the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding across the eastern uplands, passing Livermore Peak and Mt Wilcox. For genealogists, several burial grounds are preserved, including Saint Peters Cem and the more remote Corashire Cem near Hartsville. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands up to the steep slopes of Warner Mtn and the ski trails of Butternut Basin, illustrating the dual character of the southern Berkshires.
