1977 Map of Assonet

About this map

The winding Taunton River defines the western edge of this 1977 orthophotoquad, revealing the dense woodland and agricultural patterns of Bristol County. This aerial perspective, prepared by the Geological Survey, provides a clear view of the landscape around Assonet and Berkley before the acceleration of late-twentieth-century development. The photographic detail captures the intersection of land and water where the Assonet River meets the larger Taunton, showing the established footprints of settlements like Dighton and North Dighton.
