1977 Map of New Bedford North

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Acushnet River corridor serves as the central anchor for this 1970s orthophotoquad, revealing the dense residential and industrial footprint of New Bedford and Fairhaven as they appeared in the late twentieth century. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct view of the urban grid and its relationship to the waterfront at Buzzards Bay. To the north, the landscape transitions into a more fragmented pattern of woodlands and clearings around Braleys and Long Plain, illustrating the historical northward expansion of the New Bedford area.
