About this map

Fall River serves as the industrial and transit hub of this coastal landscape, situated where the Quequechan River meets the Taunton River. The urban core is densely marked by historic infrastructure, including the Fall River Station and the prominent Braga Bridge crossing over toward Somerset. Residential and industrial neighborhoods like Globe Village, Flint Village, and Bowenville line the hillsides, bordered by extensive civic sites such as the North Burial Ground and Oak Grove Cemetery.

Southward across the state line into Rhode Island, the terrain shifts from the dense blocks of North Tiverton toward the wooded expanses of the Pocasset Cedar Swamp. This map details a complex interface between freshwater resources like Cook Pond and the salt waters of Mount Hope Bay. Coastal landmarks such as King Phillips Chair on Bristol Neck and the naval heritage at Battleship Cove highlight a region where early colonial history and modern maritime industry are physically layered.
