1977 Map of New Bedford South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

New Bedford and South Dartmouth dominate the northern shoreline of this survey, where the urban grid of the city transitions into the suburban and rural stretches of the Massachusetts coast. The Fort Rodman Military Reservation anchors Clarks Pt, watching over the entrance to Clarks Cove and the northern reaches of Buzzards Bay. Inland, the landscape is defined by the winding Paskamanset River and the deeply indented estuaries of Apponagansett Bay and Slocums River. Local institutions and genealogy landmarks are numerous, including the sprawling Rural Cemetery, Apponagansett Ch, and several family-named landmarks like Potomska Cem and Mishaum Point. The southern portion of the map showcases the protected coastal environments of the Demarest Lloyd Memorial State Park and Allens Pond, illustrating the balance between mid-century development and the preservation of the shoreline.
