1973 Map of Pittsfield East

About this map

Pittsfield serves as the industrial and social anchor of this 1970s Berkshire survey, where urban expansion meets the rising slopes of the Pittsfield State Watershed Area. The Penn Central railroad cuts through the heart of the landscape, linking the dense residential grids of Lakeview Terrace and Lakewood to the paper-milling town of Dalton. This era captures a region balanced between its manufacturing identity and its natural assets, with neighborhood institutions like St Agnes Sch and Wahconah Regional High Sch serving growing suburban populations. To the south, the massive October Mountain State Forest dominates the terrain, protecting critical water resources like Ashley Lake and the Farnham Reservoir. The Appalachian Trail snakes along the ridges of Hinsdale and Washington, marking a clear boundary between the industrialized valley floor and the high, wooded plateaus of the Berkshires.
