1894 Map of Burrillville

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The industrial and mill-town character of late 19th-century Rhode Island is deeply etched into this landscape, where the Branch River and Woonasquatucket River power numerous settlements. Villages such as Slatersville, Harrisville, and Pascoag appear as dense hubs of activity within the larger towns of Burrillville and Glocester. The terrain is defined by a high density of water management features, including the Pascoag Reservoir, Smith and Sayles Reservoir, and Oak Swamp Reservoir, reflecting a century of damming for manufacturing.
