2021 Map of Fall River

About this map

The Taunton River and its various inlets dominate this coastal landscape, where the urban density of Fall River meets the bay. The map illustrates a complex network of industrial and residential development concentrated around the Quequechan River and Cook Pond, transitioning into the more suburban and rural reaches of Somerset and Tiverton. For those tracing family history, the area is exceptionally dense with burial sites, from large municipal grounds like the North Burial Ground and Oak Grove Cem to numerous small family plots such as the Benjamin Borden Lot Cem and the Honorable Thomas Durfee Lot Cem. Transportation infrastructure defines the shoreline, including the Fall River Station and historical crossings at Slades Ferry. The topography also notes cultural landmarks like King Phillips Chair on Mt Hope, reflecting the deep layers of heritage along these tidal waters.
