About this map

The villages of Pascoag and Harrisville serve as the primary hubs of this mid-century Providence County landscape, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad follows the winding path of the Clear River. The industrial and social character of the area is evident in the cluster of mill villages like Oakland, Mapleville, and Glendale, each connected by the Victory Highway. Local life centers around landmarks such as the Burrillville High Sch, St Josephs Ch, and Acote Hill in Chepachet.

To the west, the terrain transitions into the dense woodlands of the Casimir Pulaski Memorial State Forest and George Washington Memorial State Forest. A complex network of water bodies, including the Pascoag Reservoir, Wilson Reservoir, and Smith and Sayles Reservoir, defines the hydrology of the Burrillville and Glocester border. For recreation, the map identifies Wescott Beach and Cherry Valley Beach along the shores of Keech Pond.
