1973 Map of State Line

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Richmond Furnace and the interstate borderlands of New York and Massachusetts define this landscape in the early 1970s. The region is marked by industrial remnants and early settlement patterns, where the Penn Central tracks and the Massachusetts Toll Road intersect the quiet terrain near State Line. Iron ore processing has left its mark on the geography through features like Hudson Ore Bed Pond and Leet Ore Bed Pond, while small communities like West Stockbridge Center and Austerlitz maintain their historic character. To the west, the wooded slopes of Beebe Hill State Forest rise above Beebe Pond, anchored by a Lookout Tower on Beebe Hill. This survey captures the transition from a nineteenth-century mining and milling economy toward a landscape of reforestation and modern transit, preserved just as the rural character of the Berkshire and Columbia county lines remained clearly visible.
