1897 Map of Sheffield

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

The Housatonic River valley serves as the central axis of this late 19th-century study, where the New York New Haven & Hartford RR connects the industrial and agricultural hubs of the Berkshires. Great Barrington and Sheffield stand as the primary population centers, surrounded by a network of smaller hamlets and distinctive place names like Gomorrah and Sodom. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Taconic Range, dominated by the peaks of Mt Washington and Mt Everett, and the dramatic Bashbish Falls near the state line.
