1947 Map of Pittsfield East

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The industrial and residential growth of the Berkshires is centered on the Housatonic River as it winds through the city of Pittsfield and the town of Dalton. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of heavy industry and natural resource management, where the Boston and Albany RR corridor facilitates commerce alongside complex water systems like Silver Lake and Center Pond. The eastern edge of the city gives way to the rising elevations of Washington Mountain, where a network of reservoirs—including Ashley Reservoir and Farnham Reservoir—illustrates the intensive water infrastructure required for the region's expanding population.
