1955 Map of Crompton

About this map

The North Branch Pawtuxet River and its southern counterpart define the industrial and residential heart of this Rhode Island landscape, where a dense corridor of mill towns including Hope, Phenix, and River Point follows the water's edge. This mid-century survey captures the region as suburban expansion began to overlay the older textile-era settlements. In West Warwick, the concentration of schools like Deering High Sch and churches such as St John Ch illustrates the established community density, while further west, the Penn Central rail line cuts through Washington.
