1948 Map of Monterey

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Tyringham Valley serves as a prominent corridor through this Berkshire landscape, where the Appalachian Trail winds over the northern ridges near Sky Hill and Cobble Hill. This 1940s survey reveals a region defined by its reliance on the Konkapot River and its tributaries, which connect a series of small, high-elevation communities. The village of Monterey sits centrally at the edge of Lake Garfield, while to the east, West Otis is surrounded by a dense network of water features including Hayes Pond and Phelps Swamp. Local religious and community life is anchored by landmarks such as Our Lady of the Hills Chapel and the New England Keswick Ch. The map also captures significant rural holdings and family-named landmarks like Gould Farm and Hephzibah Heights, along with early burial grounds including Old Center Cem and Woods Cem, providing a window into the settled history of these mountain townships.
