2012 Map of Ashaway

About this map

The Pawcatuck River corridor serves as the central artery for this borderland between Rhode Island and Connecticut, anchoring historic mill-era settlements like Stillmanville and Potter Hill. The map documents a landscape defined by its riparian economy, where the Ashaway River joins the Pawcatuck near Pawcatuck Bridge. Beyond the industrial centers, the terrain transitions into the upland heights of Champlin Hill and Brightman Hill, which are interspersed with numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved in the record, including the Friends Burial Ground, Pendleton Cem, and the Old Hopkinton Cemetery Rd. Further north, smaller villages such as Laurel Glen and Clarks Falls sit along the Green Fall River, illustrating the scattered settlement pattern typical of the region's inland brooks and ponds.
