2018 Map of State Line

About this map

Richmond Furnace and State Line mark the northern corridor of this landscape straddling the New York and Massachusetts border. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Tom Ball Mtn and Harvey Mtn, which frame a network of drainages including the Green River and Alford Brook. Settlement patterns follow the valleys, where historic industrial sites like Rockdale Mills and extraction points such as Leet Ore Bed Pond indicate a history of local resource processing. Rural life is anchored by scattered communities like West Stockbridge Center and Austerlitz, with several family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Saint Patricks Cem and West Center Cem providing vital points of reference for genealogical research. The presence of recreational and seasonal sites, including Crane Lake Camp and Camp Kingsmont, reflects the transition of this highland area from its industrial roots toward a modern residential and leisure character.
