USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Wood River and Pawcatuck River systems dominate this 1942 landscape, defining the industrial and social boundaries of South County. The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving a string of mill settlements and stations including Carolina Sta, Shannock, and Wood River Junction. These villages represent a distinct era of Rhode Island manufacturing, where water power and rail access dictated local growth.
