New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park anchors the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting the coastal heritage of the region. The map documents a dense network of family and community burial grounds, from the Ancient Long Plain Cem and Long Plain Quaker Cem in the northeast to the Friends Burial Ground and several family plots such as the Hammond Family Cem and Barker Family Cem. The terrain is defined by the Acushnet River and its reservoir, which cut through a mosaic of residential developments and protected wetlands like the Acushnet Cedar Swamp and Bolton Cedar Swamp. Infrastructure for the modern era is evident in the New Bedford Regional Airport and the University of Massachusetts School of Law Dartmouth, positioned alongside established neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant and Acushnet Center.
