2018 Map of Georgiaville

About this map

Woonsocket and its surrounding mill-era villages dominate this Rhode Island landscape, where the Branch River and Woonasquatucket River carved the valleys that defined local settlement. The intricate water system of the northern Blackstone Valley is visible in the Slatersville Reservoirs and Stillwater Reservoir, resources that powered the industrial growth of communities like Slatersville, Forestdale, and Spragueville. This topography reveals the dense cluster of hills that hem in the river corridors, including Woonsocket Hill and Wionkhiege Hill, creating a distinct pattern of upland terrain and lowland development. In the south, the expansive campus of Bryant University sits near the winding Stillwater Pond, while the northern reach of the sheet captures the urban core of Globe and the historic Union Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition from the city center to the wooded stretches of the Nipsachuck Hill area and the rocky outcroppings of The Blunders.
