1977 Map of Assonet

About this map

Assonet sits at the head of tidal water where the Assonet River meets Assonet Bay, forming a critical junction in this coastal Massachusetts landscape. During the mid-1970s, the region balanced its colonial-era roots with modern infrastructure, as seen by the heavy corridor of the Conrail line and several interchanges along the primary highway system. Cultural and historical landmarks are dense near the water, including the Dighton Rock State Park and the venerable Old Quaker Cem.
