About this map

The Housatonic River valley serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century survey, anchoring the industrial and agricultural life of southern Berkshire County. The Housatonic Railroad parallels the water, connecting the bustling centers of Great Barrington and Sheffield. This transport corridor supported a network of smaller communities like Berkshire Heights and Ashley Falls, while the western landscape is dominated by the steep elevations of the Taconic Range, including Mt Everett and the dramatic Bashbish Falls near the New York border.
