About this map

Pottersville and Somerset anchor the southeastern corner of this Bristol County survey, where the Taunton River defines the landscape's edge. The 1942 fieldwork reveals a region of dense wetlands and interior drainage, notably the expansive Manwhague Swamp and Maple Swamp that separate the riverfront settlements from the western heights near Mount Terrydiddle. This era shows a transition between industrial and recreational land use, featuring the Taunton Dog Track in the north and the Somerset Pumping Sta along the Segreganset River. Researchers can trace old civic centers like Swansea Factory and Chestnut Tree Corner, which stand alongside family landmarks such as Great Meadow Hill. The New York New Haven and Hartford RR provides a critical transportation spine, connecting the riverside communities to the interior during the early 1940s.
