1888 Map of Fall River
USGS Topo · Published 1888About this map
Fall River serves as the industrial and transport hub of this coastal region, where the Quequechan River meets the Taunton River and the broad expanse of Mount Hope Bay. This late nineteenth-century survey shows the dense grid of the city, surrounded by distinct outlying villages such as Globe Village, Mechanicsville, and Bowenville. The landscape is defined by the significant freshwater bodies of Watuppa Pond, Stafford Pond, and Sawdy Pond, which provided the necessary water power for the textile mills that drove the local economy.
