2001 Map of Carolina
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
The Pawcatuck River and its tributaries define this landscape at the turn of the 21st century, where industrial hamlets like Carolina and Shannock sit amidst an expansive network of protected lands. The map details a unique intersection of history and geography in southern Rhode Island, particularly within the Narragansett Indian Reservation and the coastal marshes surrounding Ninigret Pond. This area is characterized by a high density of state-managed lands, including the Carolina State Management Area and the Burlingame State Park, which preserve the glacial terrain of hills like Shannock Hill and Coon Hill. For local historians, the sheet identifies significant landmarks such as the seventeenth-century Fort Ninigret near the coast and the inland Charlestown Sch, while the presence of the Narragansett Trail and the New London Turnpike traces the evolution of regional transportation from traditional footpaths to modern thoroughfares.
