1943 Map of Somerset

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The interior of Bristol County during the 1940s is defined by its extensive wetlands and small industrial clusters. Massive tracts like Manwhague Swamp, Bad Luck Swamp, and Maple Swamp dictate the local geography, forcing roads and settlements to follow the higher ridges and watercourses. Small community hubs like Swansea Factory and North Dighton illustrate the region's historic reliance on water power and manufacturing, while the New York New Haven and Hartford RR provides a critical industrial link along the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
