1946 Map of Great Barrington

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Great Barrington sits at a geographic crossroads in the late 1940s, where the Housatonic River and the Ny Nh & H Rr define the valley floor. To the east, the landscape rises sharply into the high ridges of Beartown Mtn, where the Mt Wilcox Fire Tower overlooks the deep waters of Lake Buel. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, noting a dense network of one-room schoolhouses like the Pitcher Sch, Boardman Sch, and Brush Hill Sch serving outlying farms and settlements such as Hartsville and Risingdale.
