1893 Map of Fairhaven

Navigation and trade are central to this 1885 survey, marked by essential coastal beacons like Clark Point Light and Neds Point Light. Beyond the urban centers, the map details the rural and industrial periphery, from the milling activity at Turners Mills to the outlying villages of Mattapoisett and Marion. This sheet captures the transition from interior cedar swamps and ponds to the complex inlets of Buzzards Bay, revealing the deep connection between the inland rail lines and the Atlantic coast.
