This is an 1893 map of New Bedford depicting topography and the nature
of the land and water depth contours.
You can see the small creek that emptied into Clark's Cove. It was named "Bedford Creek" and included a small pond north west of what is today the intersection of Cottage and Allen Streets.
It has been totally filled in since that time. In various maps over the years it is depicted as shorter and insome cases not there at all.
