1940 Map of Sconticut Neck

About this map

Sconticut Neck reaches into the waters of Buzzards Bay in this coastal study, detailing a landscape defined by its peninsular geography and outlying islands. Compiled in part from aerial photographs, the map illustrates the primary corridor of Sconticut Neck Road as it leads toward Sconticut Point, providing a window into the pre-war development of this Fairhaven shoreline. To the east, the large mass of West Island is separated from the neck by North Cove and Round Cove, while smaller landmarks like Long Island, Fish I, and Round I dot the inner waters.
