About this map

New Bedford and Fairhaven anchor this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the finger-like peninsulas of Buzzards Bay. The military presence at Fort Rodman and the industrial-era infrastructure of the Almshouse and Sol-e-mar Hospital define the shoreline near Clark Point LH. Inland, the landscape transitions into a network of small family-named crossroads like Macombers Corner and Wilburita Corner, reflecting a rural economy still tied to the land, evidenced by a Cranberry Bog near Bakersville.
