2024 Map of Clayville

About this map

The town of Clayville and the surrounding villages of Foster Center and North Foster are defined by a high density of ancestral family burial grounds. Dozens of small, family-named plots like the Gardiner Buffington Lot, the Stephen Williams Lot Cem, and the Asaph Wilder Burial Ground are scattered across the landscape, providing an extraordinary resource for genealogical mapping in Providence County. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the sprawling Scituate Reservoir, Barden Reservoir, and the Westconnaug Reservoir, which dominate the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. These water bodies are fed by numerous small streams such as Allan Richard Brook and Ponaganset River, flowing around prominent elevations like Chopmist Hill and Pray Hill. Major historic thoroughfares, including the Hartford Pike and Danielson Pike, intersect at Chopmist, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a crossroads in rural Rhode Island.
