1948 Map of New Bedford South
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
New Bedford and Dartmouth meet along the shores of Buzzards Bay in this 1948 revision, capturing a landscape of coastal fortifications and expanding residential corners. The defensive posture of the harbor is anchored by Fort Rodman at Clark Point and Fort Phoenix across the water, with the Butler Flats Lighthouse marking the channel entrance. Inland, the map reveals the social fabric of the era through a dense network of neighborhood schools like the Cushman School and Taylor School, alongside community landmarks such as Acushnet Park and the Solemar Hospital.
