New Bedford and its southern coastal reaches meet the Atlantic Ocean in this contemporary record of Bristol County’s shoreline. The map reveals a dense network of family-named burial grounds and historical corners, such as Redgate Corner and Bliss Corner, which anchor the residential development stretching toward the water. The geography is defined by the deep inlets of Clarks Cove and Apponagansett Bay, while the maritime character is emphasized by the New Bedford - Oak Bluffs Ferry route crossing the harbor.
