1943 Map of Bristol
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Bristol and Warren anchor this 1939 survey of the East Bay, documenting a coastal landscape defined by the Narragansett Bay and the Providence River. The map shows the dense residential grids of the towns contrasted with the open reaches of Rumstick Neck and the Popasquash peninsula. Critical local infrastructure is captured before the era of modern highway expansion, including the New Haven RR line and the Mount Hope Bridge connecting to Portsmouth. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of the South Burial Grounds and Juniper Hill Cem, alongside public institutions like the Soldiers Home. The survey also details the smaller islands of Patience Island and Hog Island, showing the intricate shoreline of coves like Bullock Cove and Potter Cove at the height of the mid-century period.
