2024 Map of Crompton

About this map

The North Branch Pawtuxet River and its southern counterpart converge at River Point, framing a landscape defined by 19th-century industrial villages. Dense settlement clusters like Phenix, Lippitt, Harris, and Arkwright trace the river valley, illustrating the historical dependence on water power for the region's textile mills. Beyond these mill towns, the landscape transitions into a remarkable density of family burial plots and small cemeteries, such as the Colonel David Relph Lot Cem and the Greene Homestead Burial Grounds, which offer significant value for genealogists tracking local lineages. To the west, the terrain opens into the expansive Mishnock Swamp and the waters of the Flat River Reservoir, while modern layers like Nike Site RD hint at the area's mid-century strategic history. This map provides a detailed view of the evolving balance between manufacturing centers and the preserved family histories of West Warwick and surrounding Kent County.
