2015 Map of Clayville

About this map

Barden Reservoir and the massive Scituate Reservoir system dominate the local geography, reflecting the 20th-century transformation of this landscape to support regional water needs. The village of Clayville sits at the nexus of these waters, while the Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge provides a tangible link to traditional New England construction. The map details a network of rural settlements like Hopkins Mills and South Foster, where family histories are preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Phillips Cem and Sandy Brook Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Chopmist Hill and Pray Hill, which overlook a dense network of brooks like Dolly Cole Brook and Huntinghouse Brook. This survey reveals how older agricultural centers like Foster Center have persisted alongside the massive infrastructure projects that reshaped the Providence County interior.
