1900 Map of Housatonic
USGS Topo · Published 1931About this map
The Housatonic River serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century landscape, carving a valley between the prominent peaks of Lenox Mtn. and Monument Mtn. along the Massachusetts-Connecticut border. This region, captured during a period of industrial transition, shows the heavy reliance on both water power and rail. Major transportation corridors like the Boston and Albany R.R. and the New York New Haven and Hartford R.R. connect established industrial hubs like Pittsfield and Great Barrington to smaller manufacturing hamlets such as Lenox Furnace and Housatonic.
