2012 Map of East Providence

About this map

The Ten Mile River and Runnins River carve through this landscape at the border of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, anchoring a network of reservoirs and tidal inlets. Coastal landmarks like Sabin Point Lighthouse and the Pomham Rocks Light House overlook the Providence River, marking the maritime approach to the city. The area is defined by a high concentration of memorial grounds, including Mount Saint Marys Cem and the Gate of Heaven Cem, which serve as significant sites for genealogical research. Residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Rumford, Riverside, and Hampden Meadows, while the Boston and Providence Railroad Bridge represents the region's enduring transit infrastructure. From the athletic grounds of McCoy Stadium to the institutional campus of Barrington College, this map captures the mid-century suburban and industrial character of the East Bay region.
