2021 Map of Georgiaville

About this map

The Woonasquatucket River and Branch River systems define this northern Rhode Island landscape, anchoring a network of industrial-era mill villages and reservoirs. Settlements like Slatersville, Forestdale, and Georgiaville show the dense development characteristic of the Blackstone Valley's manufacturing legacy. The map is particularly notable for its high concentration of family burial plots and colonial-era cemeteries, including the Old Town Burial Ground, the Old Aldrich Burial Grounds, and numerous smaller sites like the Mowry Sales Lot Cem and Aldrich Staples Lot Cem. These features, alongside landmarks like The Blunders and Nipsachuck Hill, provide a detailed view of how the region's topography influenced its settlement. Modern institutions, such as Bryant University, sit adjacent to older infrastructure like the Stillwater Reservoir and the Capron Memorial Bridge, illustrating the layering of academic growth over a deep-rooted hydraulic and agricultural history.
