1973 Map of Monterey

About this map

Lake Garfield sits at the heart of this Berkshire County landscape, where the town of Monterey serves as a central hub for the surrounding highlands. The 1973 survey reveals a region defined by extensive conservation and education, evidenced by the large tracts of Beartown State Forest and Otis State Forest. Cultural and religious institutions are well-marked, including Hephzibah Heights, New England Keswick, and the Our Lady of the Hills Chapel. For those interested in regional history, the map preserves the location of the Old Center Cem and several summer camps like Camp Meadowlark. The Appalachian Trail winds across the ridgelines of Long Mountain, connecting remote peaks like Hunger Mtn and Sky Hill to the valley floors.
