1973 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey and its surrounding hill towns appear here during a period of mid-century stabilization, showing a landscape where heavy forestation has reclaimed much of the earlier colonial farmland. The village of Monterey sits near the shores of Lake Garfield, while the Appalachian Trail winds through the high ridges of the Beartown State Forest in the northwest. This topography, dominated by the Konkapot River and Clam River drainage basins, illustrates the transition from a traditional water-powered agricultural economy to one focused on recreation and conservation.
