About this map

Great Barrington and the surrounding Berkshire highlands are documented here during a period of established rail transport and agricultural industry. The New York New Haven & Hartford RR (Berkshire Div) follows the course of the Housatonic River, connecting industrial centers like Van Deusenville and Sheffield with the broader regional economy. The landscape is characterized by a mix of river-bottom settlements and high-elevation landmarks, including Mt Everett and the Taconic heights of Mt Washington.
