2021 Map of Great Barrington

About this map

Great Barrington sits as the central hub of this landscape, where the Housatonic River winds southward through a valley flanked by prominent peaks. To the north, the industrial character of the region is evident in settlements like Housatonic and Risingdale, while the village of Van Deusenville marks an older established node near the river's bend. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the steep rises of East Mtn and Warner Mtn, crossed by the long-distance Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as Saint Peters Cem and Elmwood Cem, alongside smaller hamlets like Hartsville. Recreational and natural features including Lake Buel and the Berkshire Trout Hatchery illustrate the area's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen and conservation, while Butternut Basin highlights the importance of the local topography for regional recreation.
