1885 Map of New Bedford
USGS Topo · Published 1885About this map
The New Bedford Harbor and its surrounding coastal towns are shown here during a period of transition in the late nineteenth century. The dense street grid of New Bedford and neighboring Fairhaven sits at the heart of a region defined by its maritime and industrial connections, with the Old Colony Railroad and its various branches, such as the Fairhaven Branch, facilitating trade and travel. Navigation is guided by several prominent coastal markers, including Clark Point Light, Ned's Point Light, and the offshore Dumpling Rock Light House.
