About this map

Industrial and maritime life centers on the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay in this coastal survey. The city of Fall River shows its dense urban development, featuring a high concentration of parochial institutions like Sacred Heart Academy and St Marys Academy, alongside municipal sites like the Courthouse and Union Hospital. The Braga Bridge spans the water toward Somerset, while the Conrail line skirts the shoreline of Portsmouth to the south.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into established residential pockets such as Globe Village and Flint Village. Significant burial grounds, including the expansive Oak Grove Cemetery and Notre Dame Cemetery, provide vital records of the local population. To the west, the Cole River and Lee River define the peninsulas of South Swansea and Touisset, where the Touisset Country Club and Ocean Grove reflect a more suburban character near the Rhode Island border.
