1893 Map of Fall River

About this map

Fall River serves as the industrial centerpiece of this late 19th-century coastal survey, where the Quequechan River meets the Taunton River. The map illustrates a dense network of textile-era development including Globe Village and Mechanicsville, supported by the arrival of the Old Colony Railroad and the Fall River and New Bedford Railroad. Outside the urban core, the landscape transitions into the tidal inlets and farmsteads of Tiverton and Westport.
