1948 Map of Assawompset Pond
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The massive expanse of Assawompset Pond dominates this coastal lowland landscape, which in the late 1940s served as a critical hydraulic hub for the region. Public infrastructure like the Taunton Waterworks and New Bedford Waterworks highlight the importance of these interconnected glacial lakes, including Long Pond and Great Quittacas Pond, for municipal supply. The surrounding area reflects a quintessential southeastern Massachusetts mix of agriculture and transportation history, evidenced by the numerous specialized wetlands such as Bettys Neck Cranberry Bog and Fish Bogs. Local transit is transitioning, marked by the presence of the New Haven and Hartford RR alongside segments of the New Haven (Abandoned) Road. Small social clusters like South Lakeville and East Freetown are anchored by several historic family burial grounds, including the Strowbridge Cem and McCully Cem.
