1951 Map of Fall River East

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Watuppa Pond Reservoir dominates the western edge of this 1951 revision, serving as a massive water catchment for the surrounding industrial centers. The landscape transition from the densely wooded Freetown Fall River State Forest in the north to the burgeoning suburban corridors of Westport and Dartmouth reflects the era's post-war expansion. Along the southern rail line of the New York New Haven and Hartford, small named settlements like Beulah Corners and Hillcrest sit adjacent to Lincoln Park, an established local landmark. The eastern half of the map is defined by the winding Copicut River and Shingle Island River, feeding into Noquochoke Lake. This drainage network once powered the namesake Westport Factory, illustrating the region's shift from rural mill sites to a landscape of early 1950s residential subdivisions and improved state highways.
