Beautiful, antique map of Mt Greylock, Williamstown, North Adams, Cheshire, Massachusetts & surrounding Berkshire County area. This is an authentic edition of 1885 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. It is an original, extremely rare printing of the very first preliminary sheet of the area. See what Massachusetts looked like over 135 years ago. Lots of intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare.
