1977 Map of Fall River East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Westport Factory and the surrounding agricultural and industrial corridors of Bristol County appear in striking detail through this late-1970s orthophotograph. The landscape is dominated by the expansive waters of North Watuppa Pond and South Watuppa Pond, which flank the eastern edges of Fall River. This era of documentation shows the post-war highway infrastructure cutting through traditional crossroads like Beulah Corners and Hixville, illustrating the shift from isolated rural pockets to a more connected suburban-industrial network. Researchers can trace the path of the Shingle Island River as it winds toward the mill sites, alongside small residential developments at Lakeside and Collins Corner. The imagery provides a precise visual baseline of land use before the further commercialization of the late 20th century.
