1949 Map of East Providence

About this map

Industrial and recreational life along the Providence River is vividly detailed in this mid-century look at the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border. The landscape is defined by its water access, from the developed waterfront at Riverside and Phillipsdale to the tidal reaches of Hundred Acre Cove. Notable for sports historians, the sheet features the Narragansett Race Track and McCoy Stadium, while maritime interests are represented by the Pomham Rock LH standing watch in the river.
