1946 Map of State Line

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The New York Massachusetts border country is defined by the intersection of industrial transport and the high ridges of the Berkshires and Taconics in the mid-1940s. The village of State Line serves as a critical junction for the Boston and Albany railroad, while the legacy of early regional industry is visible at Richmond Furnace. The landscape is a network of steep elevations like Harvey Mtn and Mercer Mtn, interspersed with agricultural valleys and small crossroad settlements such as Austerlitz and West Stockbridge Center. Local education is anchored by rural landmarks like Red Rock Sch and Fog Hill Sch, serving a community tied to the hills and stream valleys of the Green River and Flat Brook. The map reveals a transition between the rail-dependent hamlets and the high, undeveloped summits like Tom Ball Mtn and Bald Mtn.
