1958 Map of Great Barrington

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Great Barrington serves as the focal point for this 1958 survey, where the Housatonic River winds through a landscape of dense state forests and deep New England valleys. The map illustrates a transitional era for the region, balancing its industrial roots seen at the Limekiln and gravel pits with growing recreational and institutional footprints. Religious and educational landmarks like the Dehon Seminary and Christian Hill Sch are prominent, while the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad tracks follow the river's edge, connecting established settlements such as Risingdale and Van Deusenville. Extensive protected lands including Beartown State Forest and the Monument Mountain Reservation dominate the eastern and northern heights, with the Appalachian Trail traversing the ridgelines above Lake Buel.
