1891 Map of Greylock

About this map

Mt Greylock dominates the terrain of northwestern Massachusetts in the late 19th century, serving as the focal point for a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and industrious river valleys. This era shows the critical role of rail transport in the Berkshires, with the Troy and Greenfield Railroad and the Pittsfield and North Adams Railroad following the courses of the Hoosic River and its branches. The presence of the Hoosac Tunnel Line underscores the massive engineering efforts required to connect these valley settlements through the formidable Hoosac Range.
