1946 Map of Pittsfield West

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Onota Lake and the western reaches of Pittsfield anchor this mid-century landscape, where the urban grid meets the high ridges of the Berkshire Barrier Range. To the west, the historic communal settlement of Shaker Village is situated near the base of Shaker Mtn, while the New York Central RR cuts a diagonal path through the valley, passing near West Pittsfield and Richmond Pond. The map reveals a transition from industrial and civic hubs like Wahconah Park and the Pittsfield Cem to the rugged summits of Yokun Seat and Mahanna Cobble. Along the New York border, the terrain climbs toward Mt Lebanon and Lebanon Springs, illustrating the natural topographic boundary that defined early Massachusetts expansion. Local landmarks such as the Pittsfield Airport and the recreational waters of Morewood Lake reflect the area's development during the 1940s.
