The maritime legacy of New Bedford is anchored by the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park near the waterfront of the Acushnet River. This 2015 survey reveals a densely developed urban core surrounded by established neighborhoods like Rockdale, Mount Pleasant, and Coury Heights. The landscape transitions from the industrial and residential grid of the city to the suburban and rural fringes of North Dartmouth and Acushnet. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds recorded, ranging from the large Oak Grove Cem to the Long Plain Cemeteries and Peckham West Cem. Regional infrastructure is highlighted by the New Bedford Regional Airport, while significant green spaces like Inland Park and Westgate Park are integrated into the northern developments of Clifford and Pine Hill Acres.
