1957 Map of East Greenwich

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Greenwich Bay and the northern reaches of Narragansett Bay dominate this coastal survey, detailing the suburban and industrial expansion of central Rhode Island. The landscape transitions from the dense settlements of Warwick and East Greenwich to the sprawling grounds of the Theodore Francis Green State Airport and the massive complex of State Institutions near Howard. The shoreline is a study in varying uses, from the recreation at Goddard Memorial State Park on Potowomut Neck to the industrial character of Hillsgrove and the naval activity at the U S Naval Reservation Construction Battalion Center. Inland, the network of the Pawtuxet River and its tributaries like Meshanticut Brook shaped the early development of communities such as Pontiac and Natick, where early industry once flourished along the river banks.
