About this map

Industrial mill villages and a complex network of reservoirs define this late-19th-century landscape in northwest Rhode Island. The Branch River and Clear River power a sequence of manufacturing hubs including Slatersville, Harrisville, and Nasonville. These settlements are linked by the regional rail infrastructure of the era, marked by depots such as Tarkiln Station and Smithfield Station. In the northeastern corner, the edge of Woonsocket appears alongside Globe Village and Bank Village, showing the dense urban expansion of the textile era.
