About this map

The coastal defense installations and residential expansion of the Buzzards Bay shoreline are well-documented in this mid-century survey of Bristol County. At the tip of Clark Pt stands Fort Rodman, while Fort Phoenix guards the eastern approach, reflecting the strategic importance of the New Bedford harbor during the era. The mapping details a landscape of specialized institutions, including the Sol-E-Mar Hospital and the municipal Infirmary, set against a backdrop of established neighborhoods and cemeteries like the expansive Rural Cemetery.
