About this map

The dense grid of New Bedford and Fairhaven Center defines the southern portion of this 1936 survey, where urban development meets the tidal waters of Buzzards Bay. The Acushnet River serves as a central artery between these growing industrial centers, flanked by landmarks such as Fort Phoenix and Riverside Cem. Moving inland, the landscape shifts dramatically into the vast wetlands of the Acushnet Cedar Swamp and Apponagansett Cedar Swamp, illustrating the natural barriers that constrained early suburban expansion.
