1893 Map of Greylock

About this map

Mt Greylock dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, surrounded by the distinctive geological formations of The Hopper and The Bluffs. This era captures the industrial and transit importance of the Northern Berkshires, where the Hoosic River corridor serves as a vital artery for the Troy and Greenfield Hoosic River Railroad. The map shows a transition from the dense manufacturing clusters in North Adams and Adams to the higher elevation wilderness of the Hoosac Range.
