1967 Map of Fall River

About this map

Fall River serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this late-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by its deep relationship with the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay. The city’s dense urban fabric is meticulously detailed, from the cluster of educational and religious institutions like Sacred Heart Academy and St Anne Sch to major transportation arteries including the Braga Bridge and the Penn Central rail lines. Across the water, the transition from industrial waterfront to residential and suburban pockets like Ocean Grove and South Swansea is evident, reflecting the post-war expansion of the region.
