About this map

Tanglewood and the cultural heart of the Berkshires anchor this study of the landscape surrounding the Housatonic River. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Stockbridge Mtn and Monument Mtn, which frame the valley and its many water bodies, including Stockbridge Bowl and Lake Averic. The map documents a blend of established estates and summer camps such as Wheatleigh and Camp Mah-Kee-Nac, alongside long-standing local landmarks like the geological formation at Ice Glen.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous burial grounds documented, from Saint Anns Cem in Lenox to the Stockbridge Cem. Industrial traces of the region’s past are still visible in labels like Iron Mine near West Stockbridge and the mill-associated waters of Shaker Mill Pond. The map serves as a record of the community’s dense network of roads and villages, including Interlaken, Glendale, and South Lee, connected by the historic corridor of the Housatonic River.
