About this map

Fall River sits as the industrial and cultural heart of this coastal region, where the Quequechan River meets the Taunton River. The map documents a dense urban landscape defined by established neighborhoods like Flint Village, Globe Village, and Mechanicsville, alongside significant maritime landmarks such as Battleship Cove and the Braga Bridge. This 2015 survey reveals how historical industrial sites and modern commerce, represented by Harbour Mall, coexist near the water's edge.

Southward across the state line into Rhode Island, the character shifts toward the residential and marshy coastal reaches of Tiverton and Common Fence Point. The topography is punctuated by numerous burial grounds, including the North Burial Ground and Oak Grove Cem, reflecting the deep genealogical roots of the community. In the west, the peninsula of Gardners Neck and the beaches of South Swansea frame the entrance to Mount Hope Bay, illustrating the complex interplay of river estuaries and coastal settlements.
