1973 Map of Peru

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The town of Peru and the village of Hinsdale sit at the center of this Berkshire County study, which highlights a landscape shaped by water and recreation in the early 1970s. The region is defined by the high elevations of Peru Hill and French Hill, with drainage flowing west via the Housatonic River (East Branch) and east toward the Westfield River. Notable recreational sites like Camp Taconic, Camp Ashmere, and Camp Danbee line the shores of Ashmere Lake, reflecting the area's mid-century role as a summer destination. Conservation is a prominent theme here, with the Wahconah Falls State Park, the Dorothy Frances Rice Wildlife Refuge, and large tracts of the Middlefield State Forest preserved. For genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Hinsdale Cem, North Cem, and Peru Cem. The Penn Central railroad corridor remains a visible fixture of the local infrastructure, cutting through the river valley near Plunkett Res.
