1951 Map of Westport

Further north, the Head of Westport marks the limit of navigation at the river's upper reaches, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the rural character of Russells Mills. Unique landmarks of the era include the National Guard Rifle Range near the Slocum River and the isolated Westport Light standing near Acoaxet. The presence of several High Sch buildings and numerous family-named corners, such as Kirby Corner and Slades Corner, illustrates the established community structure of mid-century Bristol County.
