1975 Map of Bristol

About this map

Narragansett Bay defines this orthophotoquad, which uses rectified 1975 aerial photography to document the coastal layout of eastern Rhode Island. The image-based format provides a clear view of the mid-1970s land use, capturing the dense residential and commercial patterns of Bristol and Warren as they appeared before late-twentieth-century development. The intersection of the Barrington River and Palmer River in the north creates a complex tidal landscape, while the northern tip of Prudence Island sits isolated in the lower half of the frame.
