1941 Map of New Bedford South

About this map

Butler Flats Lighthouse stands at the entrance to the outer harbor, marking a coastline defined by the maritime and institutional development of South Dartmouth and New Bedford just before the United States entered World War II. The landscape is characterized by a mix of coastal estates and critical infrastructure, including the Solemar Hospital on Clark Cove and the defensive installations at Fort Rodman. Residential clusters such as Nonquitt and Bliss Corner reflect the region's suburban growth during the mid-century, while the interior remains dotted with small community centers like Bakersville. This survey preserves the exact locations of numerous educational and religious sites, such as the Smiths Neck Ch and Crapo Sch, providing a detailed look at the social fabric of Dartmouth before modern expansion altered these rural road networks.
