1948 Map of Great Barrington

About this map

Great Barrington serves as the focal point of this Berkshire County landscape, where the Housatonic River snakes through a valley defined by the dramatic rises of Monument Mountain and East Mountain. The late 1940s settlement pattern is clearly visible, with distinct clusters at Van Duesenville and Risingdale linked by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line. Local education and community life are marked by rural outposts like the Altaraz School and Corashire Sch, while the presence of a Fish Hatchery near Hartsville and a Lime Kiln suggest the area's varied mid-century land use.
