1897 Map of Sheffield

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The Housatonic River valley serves as the central corridor for this late 19th-century landscape, where the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad connects agricultural and industrial hubs like Great Barrington and Sheffield. This period shows a complex network of smaller communities such as Ashley Falls and Van Deusenville thriving along the rail and river lines. A fascinating glimpse into local nomenclature is found in the southern reaches, where the settlements of Gomorrah and Sodom are clearly marked near Canaan Valley.
