About this map

The expansive waters of Otis Reservoir dominate the southeastern landscape of this Berkshire County study, showcasing a complex shoreline defined by Southwest Bay, Southeast Bay, and Dismal Bay. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like The Pinnacle and Filley Mtn, while the Farmington River carves a path through the central valley. Small settlements such as North Otis, East Otis, and the crossroads at Algerie Four Corners serve as local hubs connected by a network of winding roads including Beech Plain Road and West Center Road. Genealogists will find historical value in the presence of several established burial grounds, including the West Center Cem, Beech Plain Cem, and Norton Cem, alongside the Beech Plain Sch, which together suggest the social and educational centers of these mid-century hill town communities.
