1973 Map of State Line

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The borderlands of New York and Massachusetts are defined here by the steep elevations of Beebe Hill State Forest and Tom Ball Mountain. This 1973 survey details a landscape where industrial heritage and modern transit meet, centered on the Penn Central railroad and the Berkshire Section of the Thruway. Remnants of early iron mining are visible in the eastern half of the map, marked by Hudson Ore Bed Pond and Leet Ore Bed Pond, while small settlements like Richmond Furnace and Austerlitz maintain their historic footprints. Genealogists will find several local burial sites recorded, including St Patricks Cem and Austerlitz Cem. The mapping reflects a rural interior transitioning toward recreation, evidenced by Crane Lake Camp and Camp Kingsmont situated among the high ridges.
