2012 Map of Clayville

About this map

The Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge spans Hemlock Brook, standing as a prominent landmark in a landscape defined by its complex network of water storage and small rural villages. This part of Rhode Island is characterized by the expansive Scituate Reservoir and several smaller impoundments like Barden Reservoir and Westconnaug Reservoir, which dominate the eastern and southern terrain. Small historic settlements such as Foster Center, Clayville, and Hopkins Mills are linked by winding roads that follow the topography of hills like Bennett Hill and Chopmist Hill. Genealogists will find numerous family and local burial sites preserved on the landscape, including Phillips Cem, Hopkins Cem, and Sandy Brook Cem, which anchor the contemporary road network to the area's agricultural past.
