Bliss Corner and South Dartmouth form the heart of this coastal study, where the residential grids of New Bedford meet the irregular shoreline of Clarks Cove. The landscape is defined by its maritime orientation, featuring the path of the New Bedford - Oak Bluffs Ferry cutting across Buzzards Bay. Inland, the map documents numerous small communities such as Apponagansett, Nonquitt, and Shore Acres, alongside specialized land use markers like Cranberry Bog Corner. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of Saint Johns Cem, Rural Cem, and Hill Meadow Cem. This contemporary perspective captures the modern development of these historic Massachusetts towns while clearly marking landmarks like the Plummer Memorial Bridge and coastal features such as Rickettsons Point and the marshes surrounding the Little River.
