1891 Map of Sheffield

USGS Topo · Published 1891

About this map

Great Barrington and Sheffield anchor this late-19th-century study of the Berkshire region, where the Housatonic River and the Housatonic Railroad dictate the industrial and settlement patterns of the valley. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, from the alluvial plains of Egremont Plain to the heights of Mount Everett and Monument Mountain. Local commerce and community life are evidenced by the dense cluster of settlements like South Egremont, Ashley Falls, and Van Deusenville.
