1941 Map of East Providence

About this map

Narragansett Race Track and the surrounding neighborhoods of East Providence and Pawtucket dominate this 1941 edition survey, showing the region's development just before the mid-century industrial shift. The map details a landscape of expanding coastal settlements and inland rural crossroads, connected by the New York New Haven and Hartford RR. Along the Seekonk River, the industrial and maritime heritage is evident in features like the Pomham Rock LH and the Water Works. Moving eastward into Seekonk, Massachusetts, the terrain transitions to a series of mills and ponds, including the aptly named Shoe Factory Pond. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous burial grounds such as St Marys Cemetery and Little Neck Cemetery, alongside vanished local landmarks like Crescent Park and the Airport in South Seekonk.
