About this map

The Taunton River serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century landscape, anchoring a dense network of industrial and transport infrastructure. The city of Taunton emerges as a significant rail hub, where the Main Line Old Colony Railroad intersects with branches like the Middleboro and Taunton Railroad and the Taunton and New Bedford Railroad. This connectivity fueled local industry, evidenced by the Copper Works and the Swansea Factory, as well as a Quarry near the southern border.
