1963 Map of Assonet

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Taunton River and its major tributary, the Assonet River, anchor this 1963 coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by tidal inlets and early Massachusetts industrial hubs. In Assonet, the settlement patterns concentrate near Assonet Bay Shores, while the interior remains dominated by the sprawling Freetown Fall River State Forest and the Watuppa Reservation. Significant historical sites are documented along the water, including the famous Dighton Rock State Park and the Assonet Burying Ground. Transportation networks are in a state of modernization, with the newly established Interchange 35 on the state highway system cutting through the hills near Bryant Hill. The presence of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad alongside numerous gravel pits and cranberry bogs illustrates a mid-century economy still tied to the land and the rails.
