2018 Map of East Providence

About this map

East Providence and the Providence River shoreline are depicted here in a landscape defined by industrial heritage and suburban density. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Ten Mile River and Runnins River, which once powered local industry, as evidenced by features like the Old Grist Mill Pond. Historical points of interest for genealogists include the Ancient Little Neck Burial Ground near Riverside and several prominent cemeteries such as Mount Saint Mary Cem and Newman Avenue Cem. Across the state line in Massachusetts, settlements like Seekonk and South Rehoboth maintain a more transitional character between the urban core of Pawtucket and the coastal marshes of Hundred Acre Cove. The Boston and Providence Railroad Bridge stands as a primary crossing, illustrating the long-standing transportation corridors that have shaped this border region.
