1942 Map of New Bedford
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The coastal landscapes of Southeastern Massachusetts are captured here during the mobilization of the early 1940s, anchored by the massive presence of Camp Edwards near Bourne. The maritime character of the region is defined by a network of navigational aids, including Duxbury Pier Light in the north and Nobska Point Light at the southern tip. Inland, the map reveals a mosaic of freshwater resources such as the Billington Sea and Long Pond, alongside the industrial and agricultural heritage of settlements like Paper Mill Village and Tihonet.
