1944 Map of East Greenwich

About this map

State Prison and the nearby State Farm dominate the northern landscape near Howard, reflecting the area's mid-century institutional character. Along the coast of Greenwich Bay, the map reveals a dense network of seasonal and permanent settlements including Oakland Beach, Chepiwanoxet, and Apponaug. Public infrastructure is well-established by this era, notably at the State Airport in Hillsgrove and the expansive grounds of Goddard State Park on the peninsula. The New York New Haven and Hartford RR provides a critical industrial spine, linking the mill villages of Natick and East Natick with the commercial center of East Greenwich. Local life is further documented through numerous educational sites like Lockwood High Sch and specialized facilities such as the Crawford Allen Hospital near Pojac Pt.
