About this map

Greenwich Bay and the interconnected coves of the Warwick shoreline anchor this coastal study, revealing a landscape where colonial-era lineage meets modern transit infrastructure. The prominent Rhode Island/TF Green International Airport occupies the center of the sheet, surrounded by historic villages like Apponaug, Hillsgrove, and Pontiac. This area is exceptionally dense with genealogical data, featuring dozens of family burial plots and small cemeteries such as the Major General George Sears Greene Cem and the Baker Family Slave Cem, which offer significant insights into the early settlement patterns and social history of the region.

Along the southern reach, the Goddard Memorial State Park Beach and Potowomut Neck define the entry to Greenwich Cove. The map documents the industrial legacy of the area through features like Bleachery Pond and the extensive Amtrak rail line. Educational and religious institutions, including the New England Institute of Technology and Saint Lukes Church, are situated among the residential growth of East Greenwich and Cranston, mapping the evolution of these communities from their seafaring and textile roots into the contemporary era.
