2024 Map of Peru

About this map

Peru and Hinsdale are the primary settlements within this high-elevation landscape in the Berkshires, where the terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Peru Hill and Garnet Mountain. The central portion of the map is dominated by recreational and infrastructure features, including Ashmere Lake and the Cleveland Brook Reservoir. Several organized camps, such as Camp Ashmere, Camp Lenore, and Camp Taconic, border these waters, suggesting a landscape shaped by seasonal residency and conservation. Local history is anchored by several small burial grounds, including Wentworth Cem and North Cem, which sit alongside historic routes such as the Berkshire Trl. To the west, the cascading waters of Wahconah Falls provide a notable landmark near the Wahconah Falls Brook, marking the descent into the river valleys that drain the surrounding highlands.
