1958 Map of Great Barrington

About this map

Great Barrington sits as the central hub of this Berkshire County landscape, where the Housatonic River carves a fertile valley between prominent ridgelines. By the late 1950s, the area maintained a balance of industrial infrastructure and recreational space, evidenced by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line running parallel to the river and the Golf Course and Fairgrounds near the town center. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional and historical sites, including the Dehon Seminary, Elmwood Cem, and multiple schools like Brookside Sch.
