1948 Map of Somerset

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Taunton River serves as the primary eastern boundary for this region of Bristol County, where the industrial and residential development of Somerset and Dighton meets a landscape of expansive wetlands. Inland, the topography is defined by significant swamp systems including Manwhague Swamp and Bad Luck Swamp, which separate the riverfront settlements from the rural western townships. The 1948 revision of this survey shows the established neighborhoods of Pottersville and North Dighton, while the interior remains a web of smaller crossroads and historic sites like Hornbine Ch and the Swansea Factory. Local landmarks such as the Taunton Dog Track and the Somerset Pumping Sta near Broad Cove illustrate the varied land use of the mid-century period, balancing recreational needs and public infrastructure with the traditional agriculture of the Massachusetts coast.
