About this map

The coastal landscapes of Warwick and Cranston meet the waters of Greenwich Bay in this detailed survey, where established suburban neighborhoods blend with deep historical roots. The area is dominated by the sprawling grounds of the Theodore Francis Green State Airport and the educational campus of the Community College of Rhode Island. Along the indented shoreline, numerous coves like Apponaug Cove and Warwick Cove highlight the region's enduring connection to the Atlantic Ocean.

Genealogical value is exceptionally high here, with dozens of small, family-named burial sites scattered across the landscape. Notable locations such as the Spring Green Burial Ground, the Governor Samuel Gorton Plot, and the Rice Burial Yard Cem offer specific links to early Rhode Island families. The transition from industrial areas like Pontiac and Hillsgrove to the recreational stretches of Goddard Memorial State Park Beach illustrates the complex land-use patterns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
