About this map

The Pawtuxet River winds through this urban and coastal corridor of Rhode Island, defining the boundary between industrial and residential history. Along the northern reaches, the map details the infrastructure of Howard and Pontiac, while the eastern shoreline is dominated by the sprawling Theodore Francis Green State Airport. The coastline of Greenwich Bay reveals a landscape of summer colonies and maritime activity, notably at Oakland Beach and the extensive grounds of Goddard Memorial State Park.

Tracing south along the Amtrak line, the map identifies numerous neighborhood schools such as Nausauket Sch and Hoxsie Sch, illustrating the post-war suburban development of Warwick. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the quiet, wooded surroundings of Potowomut and the transition into North Kingstown. Military and maritime history is grounded in features like the U S Naval Reservation and the Warwick Lighthouse standing at the edge of the West Passage.
