1885 Map of Sheffield

USGS Topo · Published 1885

About this map

The Housatonic River valley serves as the central corridor for commerce and travel in this late 19th-century survey of the Tri-State border region. Major rail lines, including the New York New Haven & Hartford (Berkshire Div) and the Philadelphia Reading & New England, connect established industrial and agricultural hubs like Great Barrington and Sheffield. The landscape is dotted with smaller settlements and uniquely named localities such as Gomorrah and Sodom near the Connecticut border, while high points like Monument Mountain and Bear Mountain define the topography.
