Click on the map to see a large version
Early New Bedford had fewer streets and in 1795 this map was
made of the streets and roads that sometimes were no better than cart paths.
This map shows the sparcely settled area of northern New Bedford and the boundary of neighboring
Freetown, Rochester and Acushnet.
There was a dispute over the dartmouth boundary for a while.
