KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of an old atlas. The relief comes from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and the roads and the town line come from the Census Bureau. Clarksburg covers 12.8 square miles, nearly all of it land, with Florida to the east, North Adams to the south and Williamstown to the west. The town had 1,657 people at the 2020 census.
Nicholas Clark’s town
The Town of Clarksburg’s recorded history, in the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s list, dates European settlement to 1764. The town’s page credits Captain Matthew Ketchum, Colonel William Bullock and Nicholas Clark with settling the area in 1769, and the town is named for Clark. Clarksburg was incorporated as a town in 1798, and the town remains part of Berkshire County today.
Clarksburg began as a mostly farming community. In the 1800s mills went up along the streams, the biggest of them one that made cashmere, and during the Civil War several mills here supplied gunpowder. Today the town keeps its own library, the Clarksburg Town Library, part of the regional library system.
Between the ranges
Mountains wall the town on two sides, East Mountain and Bald Mountain on the west and the Hoosac Range on the east. Down the valley between them run Hudson Brook and the North Branch of the Hoosic River, which meet just south of the town line. The Hoosic itself, whose name comes from an Algonquian word read either as “the beyond place” or “the stony place,” flows on to the Hudson. The Appalachian Trail crosses Clarksburg from north to south, passing just west of the summit of East Mountain, at 2,300 feet the highest point in town. Route 8 is the only state route through town and its main road, and in the southeast corner the Mohawk Trail’s popular hairpin turn sits just inside the town line, with its lookout over North Adams and the Taconic Mountains.

Clarksburg State Park
The northern part of the valley belongs to Clarksburg State Park, 368 acres of northern hardwood forest run by the state’s Department of Conservation and Recreation, with views of the Hoosac Range, Mount Greylock and the Green Mountains. The park is home to Mauserts Pond, with a pavilion and picnic grounds, swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. The park has 4.5 miles of trails, among them the 3-mile Pond Loop Trail for hiking and cross-country skiing, and a 46-site campground. On the Vermont side of the border lies the Green Mountain National Forest.
