1975 Map of Pittsfield East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Pittsfield and its eastern suburbs are shown here through a detailed orthophotographic lens captured in the mid-1970s. The dense residential and industrial footprint of the city transitions into the neighboring settlements of Dalton and Hinsdale, revealing the mid-century expansion of the Berkshire region. The dominant geographical feature is the path of the Housatonic River and its East Branch, which provide the topographical framework for the local infrastructure and the layout of Green Ridge Park. To the northwest, the edge of Pontoosuc Lake serves as a significant landmark at the quadrangle boundary. This aerial survey provides a rare visual record of land use and timber cover before modern development altered the rural-urban fringe of these Massachusetts towns.
