1941 Map of Assawompset Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Assawompset Pond and its interconnected chain of lakes dominate this portion of Plymouth and Bristol Counties, serving as a critical hydrologic hub for nearby industrial centers. The map highlights the strategic importance of the water supply through the Taunton Waterworks on the western shore and the New Bedford Waterworks at Little Quittacas Pond. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named heights like Pickens Hill and LeBaron Hill, interspersed with specialized agriculture such as the Bettys Neck Cranberry Bog and Washburn Bogs. Settlement patterns follow the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which anchors the village of East Freetown. Smaller hamlets like Sampsons Corner and Canedys Corner appear alongside numerous rural burial grounds, including Pond Cem and the Haskins Cem, documenting the area's genealogical history prior to mid-century development.
