1973 Map of Great Barrington

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Great Barrington and its surrounding hill country are captured here during the early 1970s, showing a landscape defined by the winding Housatonic River and the industrial corridors of the Penn Central railroad. The map records the cultural layer of the Berkshires, from the Golf Course and Fairgrounds in town to the Butternut Ski Area on the slopes of Warner Mtn. This era shows the expansion of local institutions, including the Monument Mountain High Sch and Dehon Seminary, alongside established community landmarks like St James Ch and Elmwood Cem. To the east, the extensive Beartown State Forest dominates the topography, containing significant water bodies like Lake Buel and Benedict Pond. The settlement pattern reflects the area's transition into a recreation and education hub, while keeping traces of older hamlets such as Van Deusenville and Risingdale.
