1898 Map of Greylock

About this map

Mt. Greylock dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, a focal point for the early Greylock State Reservation and its surrounding glacial features like The Hopper and The Bellowspipe. The map illustrates the industrial and transportation network that defined northern Berkshire County during this period, centered on the Hoosic River valley. Several major rail lines converge here, including the Fitchburg R.R. and the Pittsfield and North Adams R.R., serving mill towns and manufacturing centers from Williamstown to North Adams.
