1918 Map of New Bedford
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
Industrial and maritime activities center on New Bedford Harbor in this tactical survey, which details the shoreline from Slocums River to Sippecan Harbor. The cityscape of New Bedford is densely gridded, showing its emergence from its whaling roots into a textile and manufacturing hub served by the Fall River and New Bedford Railroad. Across the water, Fairhaven sits prominently, while the northern interior is dominated by extensive wetlands like Acushnet Cedar Swamp and Great Cedar Swamp.
