South Dartmouth and the surrounding coastline of Buzzards Bay are captured in this 1977 orthophoto, offering a clear view of the salt marshes and tidal inlets that define the South Coast. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this aerial survey reveals the density of residential development in New Bedford and the distinct shoreline properties of Nonquitt and Bayview. The inland terrain is characterized by a mix of wooded areas and cleared fields, bisected by the Paskamanset River as it winds toward the Atlantic.
